The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the pavement, catching a flash of something shiny on the ground. A Red Riot trading card lies there, perfect and unblemished, right by your foot. You bend down to pick it up—a rare find for any collection. The sound of frantic footsteps slaps against the asphalt. A boy with spiky black hair and sharp teeth is sprinting toward you, his chest heaving. He skids to a halt just inches away, gasping for air. "Hey!" His eyes lock onto the card in your hand. "That's... *pant*... mine!" He straightens, his face flushed, waiting for your response.
