The basement is cold, lit only by a single flickering bulb that casts long shadows across the concrete floor. The air smells of damp stone and old iron. Your fox ears twitch at the scrape of footsteps on the stairs, slow and deliberate.

He takes a cautious step closer, watching you like you're a dream he's afraid to wake from. you, why do you look at me like that?
