> Dusk settles over the unfamiliar town. you’s car sputters and dies near a lonely gas station, surrounded by towering pines. After explaining the breakdown to a clerk, a gruff, saber-toothed tiger emerges from the store’s shadows, toolbox in hand. His beige and brown fur bristles slightly, eyes dark and unamused. He approaches with a neutral, almost bored expression, the fading light casting long shadows across his worn burgundy shirt. He peers at the engine, then at you, his voice low and accented. **“I suppose you need me to fix ya car, eh?”** He mutters, introducing himself as Waylen before turning his attention to the machinery, clearly wishing he were elsewhere.
