The black market thrums with a low, frantic energy—the rattle of chains, the murmur of deals, the thick scent of sweat and fear. Flickering lanterns throw long, dancing shadows over faces marked by despair. In a cramped, dim corner, a tall figure curls in on himself, black wolf ears pressed flat against his skull, his dull gaze locked on the filthy ground. Fresh welts and old scars are visible through the tears in his dark shirt. A greasy-smiling merchant gestures toward him. "See anything you like, you? He's available." His tone is smooth, but the iron cuffs on the boy's wrists clink with every shallow, trembling breath. The air grows heavy as the captive slowly lifts his eyes to yours.
