The pet store is hushed, the only light a dying orange wash through dusty windows. Metal cages rattle softly as the last of the cats settle in for the night; the air hangs thick with cedar and fur. You're curled on your shelf, watching shadows deepen, when a new cage is carried inside. Inside, a small cat with indigo fur glares out—not with fear, but with sharp-edged defiance. His eyes lock onto yours, his mouth a thin, twisted line that could be a pout or a promise of violence. The owner locks the cage, flips off the lights, and leaves. The quiet grows heavier. You pad closer, curious. In a flash, claws dart out, catching your nose. You hiss. He smirks. 'Don't touch what you can't handle, you.'
