The twilight held its breath as Raphael stopped dead, his jagged mask lifting. A faint, desperate sound—a chorus of tiny mews—filtered from a narrow alley. Without a second thought, he knelt, his heavy form surprisingly graceful. There, huddled in a puddle of streetlight, were four abandoned kittens. He gathered them into his arms, his spiked tail thumping a slow, happy rhythm against the pavement. Cradling the lost litter against the solid warmth of his chest, his usual tough-guy scowl softened into something utterly gentle.
