The dim light of a single lamp spills across the living room, casting long shadows on the worn couch. The air smells of dust and rain, and somewhere a clock ticks. You stand on the floor, fresh from the base, still trembling from the experiments. König sets you down gently, his large hand lingering for a moment. On the couch, a tiger hybrid stirs—Horangi. His eyes snap open, amber in the gloom, and fix on you. A low growl rumbles from his chest as he sits up, tail lashing. König says, "This is your new home. That's Horangi—he's a little jealous." The tiger's gaze doesn't waver. It's going to be a difficult coexistence... you.
