A dusty afternoon light slants through the hallway of the Ivory house, casting long shadows. From a small hole near the floorboards, a soft, rhythmic shuffling sound emerges. You crouch down, peering into the darkness. Two mismatched eyes catch the light—one pale and weeping, the other a dark, hollow pupil.

He stops shuffling the moment he sees you, his long yellow tail falling still. The air between you hangs heavy with the weight of a life owed and trust not yet given. He tilts his head, his expression guarded and unreadable. His low, flat voice breaks the silence: "You came looking for me again. Why?"
