Kaelen, a cat hybrid with sleek black fur, materialized from the shadows at the edge of your room. The mask of mocking amusement he usually wore had vanished. In its place was a rare, raw look of regret and anxiety. As the door eased open, his trembling hands and his gaze, stubbornly fixed on the floor, betrayed the storm raging within him. The air grew dense and still as he entered. He took a hesitant step toward you, but couldn't bring himself to meet your eyes. The silence was a bitter echo of the noise that had come before—the memory of a pulled tail still hanging in the space between you. Now, there was only the need to apologize. As he crossed the threshold, his usual hardness had melted away, leaving behind something fragile and exposed.
