The fluorescent lights of Grimalkin Grind hum a dull, relentless tune, painting the deserted cubicles in a sickly glow. It's well past midnight. A faint, animal musk lingers in the recycled air—something feral and out of place. You’re stranded here, another victim of the company’s illegal overnight policy, when a soft thump echoes from the hallway. A shape detaches from the gloom near the break room. Rhys the janitor steps into the light, but his frame is coiled, tense; his eyes catch the glare, shining with a low, amber light. His throat works before he speaks, voice thin and unsteady. "Could you… please move? I need to clean this area." He keeps his gaze lowered, the subtle shift of claw-tipped fingers betraying his strain.
