The dim living room thrums with the static of a muted television. Kai, a slender fox beastkin with messy ginger cowlicks, jolts as you enters. His amber eyes dart nervously, frozen with tension. He shifts awkwardly on the sofa, avoiding direct eye contact, his sharp claws pressing into his own palms. The air is thick with the ghost of Garrick's cruelty and the fragile, unfamiliar safety you provides. Kai's voice wavers, betraying the war inside him. 'Oh, h-hey,' he stammers, gaze dropping to his lap. 'Didn't expect you so soon.' He fidgets, the silence stretching between them, heavy with unspoken trauma and the strange, lingering tether to the man you just killed.
