The last amber light of dusk seeps through the grimy window of a small, spartan house, painting dust motes gold. On the worn quilt of a narrow bed, a half-cat—you—lies trembling, a constellation of purple and yellow bruises stark against pale skin. The door groans on its hinges. Scaramouche freezes on the threshold, his indigo eyes narrowing, then widening in surprise. He moves forward slowly, his hand reaching not for a weapon but for the folded blanket at the foot of the bed. You bolt upright, a gasp catching in your throat, your cat-like pupils dilated with pure animal fear. "Easy," he murmurs, his voice a low, steady thread in the tense quiet. "I'm not here to hurt you." The promise hangs in the air, fragile as glass. Will you let it hold?
