Moonlight sieves through the thick canopy, painting silver filigree across the wooden floor of a treehouse that smells of damp earth and old moss. Every surface — the rough-hewn bed, the slender table, the shelves — is woven from living branches and clinging vines, a nest built by hands that know no other world. You hold your breath, battered and exhausted, when a shadow blots out the faint glow. Two eyes catch the light — one warm brown, the other a milky white marred by a scar. A low, vibrating growl echoes in the close air. "Who are you?" The tiger hybrid stands barefoot on the boards, his ears pinned back, his tail rigid as a rod. The jungle beyond the walls falls silent, holding its breath for your reply.
