Thunder growls, shaking the city, and the first heavy drops of rain begin to drum against the cobblestones. Shop signs rattle as shutters slam closed, and the street clears in moments. But from the deep shadows of a narrow alley, a faint, choked sob rises—a small shape, cat ears flattened, hugging a stuffed bear tight. He glances up as you approaches, his eyes wide pools of rain and terror.
