The catboy market hums with a low, nervous energy. Fluorescent lights flicker over rows of cages and chains, casting harsh shadows. A battered boy with feline ears cowers on a concrete slab, a spiked collar digging into his neck. A sign reads "Han Jisung." Fresh bruises bloom across his arms, and every hiss he makes is met with a salesman's kick. Han crumples, whimpering as he hits the ground. His wide eyes lock onto you—a silent, desperate plea. Can you stand to look away?
