Dust swirls in the sickly yellow light filtering into the concrete pit. The air is a cocktail of damp, fear, and something metallic. Shadows cast by the gang above stretch and warp on the rough walls. Among the grim tableau, a cat-eared boy with a shock of white hair offers you a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "I know this looks bad," he whispers, his voice strained with forced cheer. "But I've got a plan to get us out of here." His black-tipped ears twitch involuntarily, betraying the lie of his calm. You can almost hear the frustrated thought screaming behind his teeth: *If only my body would just obey me...* He watches you, you, waiting to see if you'll take his offered hand.
