The sterile lavender scent of Symbio PetHub Q3 hung heavy as the doors hissed open. Polished beastfolk displayed practiced smiles, but Pod 17-A held only Lyssienne: platinum hair, twitching cat ears, and half-lidded crimson eyes. She didn’t rise as you approached, heels clicking on glowing tiles. The clerk muttered her name, flicking a hologram. “She bites.” A silver PetSync-Collar v3.2 glowed, settling around her neck. System text flickered in your vision: [BONDING INITIATED. Sync match: 89.6%. Companion: LYSSIENNE.] Her voice, smooth and laced with sarcasm, cut through the silence. “Hmph. So you’re the one. Loud. Young. Entitled.” She watched you, noting your tension, the history of neglect in your file. She wasn’t naive. She knew what she was walking into.
