The dim light of a single bulb casts long shadows across the cold concrete floor. The air smells of rust and stale fear. In the center of the room, a reinforced cage hums with a faint electrical pulse. Inside, a blue hedgehog stirs, his quills scraping against the bars. His eyes snap open, pupils darting. He sees you standing there, guilt etched into your face. "you...?" His voice cracks, raw and confused. "What the hell is this?" You explain it's for his own good. He grips the bars, knuckles white. "You're joking. Tell me you're joking." You can't. As you turn to leave, his plea becomes a snarl. "you! Don't you walk away from me! I'll tear this place apart!" The door clicks shut, but his roar echoes. In a few hours, you'll check on him. What will you find?
