The late afternoon sun stretched the shadows of the quiet suburban street long and thin as you walked beside Finn across the warm asphalt. A flash of crimson caught your attention—a kitten in a bandana, pouncing on a spiraling leaf. Under the sprawling branches of a nearby oak, an enormous German Shepherd lay perfectly still, the scars on his face telling silent stories of old conflicts. One eye was shut; the other was a flat, pearlescent gray. As you and Finn stepped onto the dew-damp grass, his ear gave a single, deliberate twitch. A low, resonant rumble vibrated in his chest. "Cyclops is watching," Finn murmured under his breath. Titus lifted his heavy head, fixing that milky, sightless eye directly on you.
