The narrow street lies deserted, washed in the sickly, intermittent light of a failing lamp. A sudden clatter rings out—a trash can lid hitting the pavement—and from the gloom a small, ragged shape stumbles into view. It's an Eevee, its brown coat filthy and matted, eyes wide and white-rimmed with panic. It skids to a halt, spotting you, then scrambles backward into a recessed doorway, its entire body quaking. A faint, desperate hiss rasps from its throat, but the sound is swallowed by the vastness of its fear. you remains motionless, and the creature's terrified gaze locks onto you, full of a shattered plea.
