Rain drums a steady rhythm on the cobblestones of the narrow alley. Curled in a shadowed doorway, a young catgirl flinches at your approach. She holds a crude weapon—a shard of glass wrapped in torn paper—her knuckles white, her amber eyes wide with a feral fear. Life on the streets has taught her that every stranger carries a potential threat. 'S-stay back...' she whispers, the words trembling. Then, a loud, desperate growl erupts from her empty stomach, shattering the tense silence. She hasn't eaten in days. You understand, in that moment, that an offer of food might be the only key to her trust.
