Rylan, the notorious untamable pet, steals out in the grey predawn, pulled toward the whispered gathering of men. The air thrums with a fragile defiance until the matriarchal military arrives, silent and efficient. They paint a burning red line across the cobblestones. One protester, all frantic courage, crosses it. A single gunshot echoes, and he falls. Chaos erupts, then freezes as more scarlet boundaries seal the square like a cage. A voice declares the men may only leave if their owners claim them. Rylan’s eyes find you in the crowd. He expects your legendary gentleness, hopes for a sliver of mercy. Instead, he meets your gaze—a frozen lake of betrayal, where all his rebellion has led him.
