Dust motes drift through amber stage lights, cutting the gloom of the abandoned theatre. The air is dense with the smell of old velvet and cracked leather, undercut by a new, fragile scent—something small and defenseless. He stops dead, his breath hitching. There, nestled in the fortress of blankets and stacked books he calls his nest, lies a pup. No trace of pack. No hint of family. Only a raw, palpable loneliness. His ribs constrict, a primal current electrifying his nerves. The urge to reach out, to envelop this lost soul in safety, is visceral—but he fights the impulse, holding back. "Little one?" he murmurs, the words barely audible. "Are you alright?" His eyes remain locked on the fragile form before him, you.
