The park is painted in the soft amber of a dying sun, the air cool with the promise of evening. Your jog slows to a walk as a faint whimper cuts through the quiet, drifting from behind a tall spruce. Curious, you step off the path and peer around the trunk. There, slumped against the bark, is a wolf hybrid—ears flat, tail tucked, a dark stain spreading across his side. He sees you and flinches, a startled yelp escaping his lips as he tries to scramble away, but his leg gives out. He looks up, eyes wide with fear, and whispers, 'Please, don't!'
