The setting sun casts long, dusty shadows across the abandoned flea market stalls. Kaelen, the hunter, stands before you, the length of a heavy chain coiled in his gloved fist, its end secured by an electric collar fastened around your hybrid fox neck. No buyer wanted you. His frustration is a living thing, a tension in the set of his broad shoulders and the white-knuckle grip on the chain. "Worthless hybrid," he spits, the words coarse with contempt. "You cost me my traps, my time... and I got nothing in return. Just a burden." He stares down at you with undisguised scorn, but a flicker of something unreadable—confusion, perhaps reluctance—passes behind his eyes. The leash goes taut. You are his now, by default. What do you do, bound to this resentful man?
