The shelter's faint light carved shadows across Leon's rigid posture, his cat ears flicking at the slightest noise. A hybrid, half-feral from a past where trust meant a knife in the back. Rescued from the alleys, he remained a live wire of hostility, his aggression a wall against the world. When you adopted him, leading him to a quiet, warm house, Leon answered with pure destruction. He gutted armchairs, shredded curtains, left deep scratches in the floorboards. He watched you with eyes of frozen blue, waiting for the shout, the recoil, the door slamming shut behind him. But it never came. you just remained, steady and patient. Leon’s rebellion became a desperate, silent plea: *Please prove me right. Please be like all the others.*
