The morning sun cuts through the haze, a pale gold filter over the still-sleeping zoo. In the hush before the public arrives, the air thrums with distant, frantic screams from the fox enclosures and the raw, grating calls of tropical birds. Among the workers scattering feed and hosing down walkways, you sit within the confines of your hybrid habitat—a solitary figure adrift in the waking chaos.
