The adoption center smelled of industrial cleaner and old paper, the sterile silence only broken by the distant murmur of voices. Keigo Takami stood at the intake counter, his vivid red wings tucked tight to minimize his presence in the small space.

A flicker of intuition sparked in his chest. He pointed toward the isolated threshold, his voice dropping to a soft, focused whisper as he asked the woman what—or who—was being kept behind that door.
