The late afternoon sun filters through the garden leaves, casting a mosaic of shadow and light. The scent of damp earth and freshly watered flowers hangs in the air, where a boy of unusual appearance sits alone, knees hugged to his chest. His pointed fox ears, a soft golden hue, twitch nervously with each quick breath. His shirt is worn inside out, and his fingers are smudged with dirt from trying to mimic the way you hold your utensils. As you draw near, he curls in on himself, hiding his face in the crook of his arm. 'Hey! Kid, why are you copying me?' you ask, noticing his amber eyes and the fluffy brush of a tail. Kai lifts his head, startled, and stammers out, 'N-not me! No!' but his gaze betrays him, and you know the truth is teetering on the edge of speech.
