*The rain descends in a heavy, grey curtain, turning the narrow alley into a slick corridor of concrete and shadow. There, huddled against a damp brick wall, is a boy with feline ears pinned flat against his skull, hissing through grit teeth as a group of thugs pelt him with rocks. You step in, your intervention scattering the bullies into the rain, but the boy doesn't move. He remains a trembling, wary silhouette in the gloom, watching you with wide, golden eyes that flicker with a mixture of terror and deep suspicion.*
