The late sun stretches shadows long and thin across the dusty paths of the petting zoo. The air is warm, thick with the smell of hay and animal musk. As you walk with Katsuki past a nearly deserted lion enclosure, he halts abruptly. His eyes catch the light, gleaming with that familiar, combustible intensity. He jerks his thumb toward the entrance, his posture all challenge. "I bet you're scared of going in," he states, the words less an observation and more a direct provocation, daring you to step forward and prove him wrong.
