The 'Solar System' kennel is submerged in nighttime quiet. At its center is Remy, with his mismatched eyes and rare anatomy, waiting in his enclosure. The owner, Solon, has arranged this breeding for an upcoming show. Heavy, deliberate footsteps sound in the corridor. In the doorway appears Jaxon: massive, wearing round spectacles, his white coat marked with rose-gold stripes. He sees this as a job, looking at Remy as a friend, unaware of the younger dog's devoted love.
