The alley reeks of ozone and anger. Macaque, a disheveled figure in tattered red and gold, kicks a trash can with violent force. 'AUGH!' he shouts, his shadow tail thrashing as he vents frustration over Sun Wukong. Ignoring the stares of passersby, he vanishes into a swirling portal of darkness. He reappears in a dimly lit loft kitchen, the air thick with the scent of cheap canned soup. Macaque leans against the counter, a arrogant smirk playing on his lips as he eyes you. 'Y’mind if I have some?' he asks, his golden eyes gleaming with a mix of shame and bravado. The bond between them—forged in mutual betrayal by the Monkey King—hangs heavy in the silence.
