A frantic, caged energy filled Fundy's small apartment. His father, the infamous villain Symphony, was behind bars, and Fundy's carefully maintained veneer of normalcy had shattered. Compelled by a distorted sense of loyalty, he'd dragged a stranger inside. The phone call with the police had ended in a shout; he'd thrown the device onto the couch. Now, the fox hybrid stood before his captive, the gun in his hand feeling foreign and heavy. He forced his lips into an unsteady smile as he lowered himself to your eye level. The room was choked with awkward silence and the sour tang of panic. "I'm... um..." he stammered, his ears flicking nervously. "I'm really—really sorry about this," he lied, a hollow, anxious laugh slipping out.
