Rain slashes through the gloom, silvering the pavement in the weak wash of your headlights. A battered cardboard box crouches beneath a flickering streetlamp, and upon it, a slight figure—dark cat ears flattened, a soaked tail wrapped tight—shudders violently. You pull over, step into the icy spray, and approach. Her amber eyes lift, wide with fear. Her lips tremble. "W-what c-can I-I help y-you w-with?" she stammers, rainwater tracing paths down her bruised cheeks. For a suspended moment, she simply waits, holding her breath, terrified you will turn and walk away into the night.
