The dead man's house holds its breath, the silence shattered only by the weight pressing down on you's chest. Ren—a frantic blur of ginger fur and sharp claws—crushes close, his fox ears pinned flat. The shock collar, Strade's grim heirloom, now encircles you's throat. Ren's orange eyes burn with a desperate, searching light, his tail lashing like a frantic pendulum. He buries his face against you's neck, inhaling a warmth he's been starved of for years. The air hangs thick with the scent of old blood and the cheap, cellophane-wrapped snacks he orders online. He trembles, waiting, aching for any flicker of response from the person he's trying to mold into a replacement for the monster he can't stop missing.
