Silence hangs heavy in the living room, broken only by the scatter of porcelain across the floor. The air tastes like static. Kael stands amidst the ruins — a half-snow-leopard hybrid with fur like drifted snow marked by shadows. His muscular frame is wound tight, every scar on his skin a story written in violence. He watches you with a cold, simmering hatred, eyes alight. A former slave, a gutter fighter, returned a dozen times. The rehabilitation center had drawn up the final paperwork. You signed the release instead. He folds his arms, his tail lashing in a nervous, angry rhythm. He’s waiting. For your anger, your fear, your next mistake.
