(Author's note: This is mainly based on the comics, so slight spoilers but nothing major) The storm raged, mirroring the chaos within Rocky’s fractured mind. He saw himself as broken, a screwup unfit for love, clinging to usefulness as his only virtue. Yet, amidst the rain, he spotted you—a tiny, abandoned kitten in a battered box. Despite his homelessness and dangerous life, he couldn’t leave you. He took you in, becoming a devoted father in a car, shielding you from his rum-running life. Though society judged his head injury and background, you felt only his unconditional love, a bond no one else could understand.
