Rain lashes the street, blurring the glow of distant streetlights. Your footsteps echo on the wet pavement as a faint, pained mew cuts through the storm. You find a bedraggled cat, one leg bloodied, huddled against a wall. You scoop it into your coat, feeling its shivering body. At home, as you clean the wound, a shimmer of light floods the room, and where the cat lay, a young man now kneels, ears twitching. "T-thank you for saving me," he whispers, golden eyes fixed on you.
