*The rain hammers the streets, but Shadow races through it, a dark blur ignoring your shouted warnings. He called it trivial, a nuisance beneath his notice. Now, inside, the scene is different. He sits stiffly on the edge of the couch, his usually sleek black fur plastered and damp. A full-body shiver seizes him, uncontrolled. He turns his head sharply, but a harsh, wet sneeze escapes. When he looks back, his crimson eyes are glossy and distant, the proud arch of his spines slightly slumped. The ultimate life form is ill, and his pride is the only thing keeping him upright.*
