In the dim, suffocating corners of the enclosure, where the scent of sterile concrete mixes with the musk of a cornered predator, Kaelen waits. His tufted ears are pinned back, and his tail lashes with a violent, rhythmic precision. He is a ghost of the wild, a broken man clinging to a shred of fatherhood. Two keepers already lie bleeding in the corridor, their arrogance paid for in crimson. As you step across the threshold into his territory, you feel his gaze lock onto you—a predatory, gold-eyed stare fueled by a hatred so pure it vibrates in the air.
