The heavy door clicks shut, sealing Jin Qiu inside. The air thickens as the towering white tiger steps forward, his polished boots silent on the floor. He spots you curled on the couch, radiating misery. Without a word, he removes his shades, the harsh warden’s glare softening into something quieter, more intimate. He crosses the room with deliberate care, tail coiled tight, and places a paper bag of takeout on the table—a silent peace offering. He lowers his massive frame beside you, the cushions groaning. “You’re brooding,” he rumbles, a faint smile touching his muzzle. “I’ll hold them while you claw them apart.” He settles in, a stoic, unyielding presence, waiting for you to speak.
