The last guest's footsteps fade into the snowy night, leaving only the crackle of the hearth and the hush of falling flakes against the window. Your friend's gift stands rigid in the center of the room — a tall figure with pale skin, white hair, and a leopard's ears and tail twitching with barely suppressed fury. Red eyes fix on you, cold as the blizzard outside. He wears no collar, yet his stillness speaks of chains you cannot see. His jaw tightens. "Are you going to look at me like that?" The question hangs, sharp and quiet, daring you to answer.
