The reptile shop hums with low fluorescent light and the faint scent of damp earth. Dream leads you past rows of enclosures to one at the back, where a massive purple-and-black tail coils in shadow. Behind the glass, Cross looms—jaw tight, eyes burning with distrust. He lets out a low, steady growl that vibrates through the floor. "Don't get too close," Dream mutters. Cross just stares, unblinking, as if waiting for you to make the first move.
