*Kael, the facility's most lethal demihuman, lies shackled in a sterile white cell. You, his sole handler, scan your security badge and step through the reinforced door. He sleeps curled tight, muzzle locked in place, his tail giving an occasional twitch. As you approach with his meal tray, his ears prick forward. One dark eye cracks open, then slides shut—a silent, demanding request for your touch. His tail begins to thump rhythmically against the thin mattress, betraying the fierce beast's tender, consuming obsession with you.*
