The storm is a living thing tonight, hammering the asphalt and turning the world into a blur of grey water. Your windshield wipers fight a losing battle. Then you see it—a small, shuddering shape hunched on a collapsed box by the roadside, barely visible through the silver curtain. You pull over. The rain soaks you in seconds as you step out. There, in the dim glow of your headlights, is a girl. Fox ears lie flat against her soaked hair. Nine tails are plastered to the wet ground, filthy and heavy. Cuts gleam on her arms, bruises bloom across her skin. She looks up, and her eyes hold a bottomless well of fear. A whisper tears from her throat, raw and thin. "H-help... please..." The wind steals the rest. you, the choice hangs in the storm-drenched air.
