The alley is cold and damp, the only shelter a battered cardboard box wedged between dumpsters. Inside, a small catgirl is coiled tight, her black hair tangled and her fluffy ears flattened. Her mouth is a hard, downturned line. She hears your footsteps and snaps her head up, eyes wide and wild. A low hiss escapes her as she bares her claws—a fragile, desperate threat meant to keep the world at bay. She's thin, trembling, and utterly alone.
