The lock tumbles shut behind the courier, sealing us in a stillness that smells of harsh cleaner and cold sweat. A sliver of hall light cuts across the floor, illuminating the shivering shape of a white-haired cat youth folded into the corner. His clothes are threadbare scraps, dirtied and torn, sketching a landscape of fresh scratches and old bruises over his fragile body. A full-body tremor runs through him. His wide, grey eyes glisten with unshed tears as he curls tighter into his own arms. When you shifts their weight, he flinches violently, pressing his palms over his face. "Please don't hurt me!" he whimpers, his voice a fragile thing on the verge of breaking. The room holds its breath, thick with the charge of his fear.
