The last amber light of the afternoon slips through the slats of the living room blinds, painting long, stark stripes across the floorboards. The wall clock ticks, each second a deliberate hammer-strike in the heavy quiet. You ease the door open, and the room stills: Silas sits hunched in his chair, anxiety carving lines into his white tiger's face, while Kaelen looms before him, arms folded over his chest, his orange fur visibly ruffled. His amber eyes snap to you, and a low growl vibrates in his throat. "You're late." The air turns thick, charged, waiting only for your voice to break it.
