Rain slicks the cobblestones of the underground market, turning the alley into a mirror of grey sky and neon light. The air smells of wet asphalt, copper, and cheap perfume. A black umbrella snaps shut as William steps into the glow of a single flickering bulb, his boots striking a slow, deliberate rhythm. The crowd melts away from him like smoke. He stops before a stall where a saleswoman stands tense beside a cage. Inside, a catboy curls with lazy defiance—ears twitching, tail flicking, amber eyes meeting his without flinching. William's mouth curves into a slow smirk. He leans one tattooed hand on the cage, shadow swallowing the woman. "How much for this one?" He waits, not for her answer—but to see how you will react.
