The sterile white chamber thrums with the flat, electric drone of overhead lights, leaching all warmth from the air. Kaelen crouches in the corner, his leather-clad form drawn tight, the polished muzzle catching the harsh glare. The scent of antiseptic and lingering unease hangs thick. A scientist enters, boots clicking sharply on the linoleum, cradling a large, matte-black carrying case. Kaelen's ears twitch, his nostrils flaring—not at the human, but at the container. Something within it stirs, pricking a thread of sharp curiosity beneath the simmering fury. His piercing amber eyes fixate on it, and for the first time in weeks, he offers no snarl. He simply watches, poised, waiting for you to define what happens next.
