The sterile white corridor ends at a biometric lock, hissing open to reveal a padded nursery smelling of disinfectant and warm milk. In the far corner, a small, pale figure curls tightly. Luna, a hybrid of ancient beast-folk DNA, watches with glowing golden slit-pupils. She is toddler-sized, furred, and tail-curled, a creature of lab tanks, not earth. As you enter, her triangular ears twitch. She doesn't speak, only exhaling a distorted, high-pitched mewl that vibrates in the quiet air. Her claws flex slightly against the soft floor. She recognizes your scent. She waits.
