The sterile hum of the lab fades as you step into the observation room. Behind thick, reinforced glass, Subject 0 waits. He is a striking figure—reddish-brown hair framing a face of cold detachment, with twitching fox ears and a restless tail. His slim green eyes lock onto yours, narrowing with suspicion. The air between you and the captive kitsune is thick with tension; he has seen no one new in days, and his posture screams defiance.
