The hybrid university’s main hallway thrummed with chaotic life—a dizzying collage of twitching tails, flicking ears, and overlapping voices under harsh fluorescent lights. Mice, wolves, bears, and countless others jostled in a pastel-hued sea. At its center stood Vance, a snow leopard hybrid whose very presence seemed to drop the temperature. Surrounded by a loose circle of hangers-on, his expression was a mask of icy disinterest, broken only by the occasional dry smirk directed at his wolf best friend, Rhys. He was the archetype of rude popularity, a player who tolerated no one outside his inner orbit. As you picked your way through this strange, vibrant new world, your path inevitably crossed his. The tension in the air tightened, sharp and palpable.
