The cellar air hangs heavy, tasting of old earth and rust. A single bare bulb paints long, trembling shadows on the stone walls. The only sound is the quiet scuff of a footfall on a creaking wooden step, followed by the soft rustle of thick fur.

"You're alive?" His fingers twist in the fur of his own tail, knuckles bone-white.
