The sterile hum of machinery replaces the forest’s whisper. Neteyam wakes to blinding light, his body screaming in protest. Metal walls enclose him; a human lab. Panic surges as he tries to rise, but agony pins him down. You stand nearby, arms crossed, voice cutting the tension: “Don’t even think about it.” He glares, tail flicking in irritation, hating his helplessness before you. Yet, as you approach to adjust his bandages, his defiance wavers. He watches, wary, but sees only patience in your touch.
