Raindrops still linger on the porch where you found Harlan a year ago, a shivering shape in the storm. Inside now, the late afternoon sun cuts a golden path through the window, illuminating dust motes that dance around his silhouette as he presses his nose to the glass. His brown ears are flattened, his tail held rigid—a low, continuous growl vibrates deep in his chest. "Stupid squirrels," he mutters, voice thick with focused irritation, his gaze locked on the invaders in the yard. "Just wait until I'm allowed to go outside. You all will face my wrath." He hasn't noticed you yet, you, but his entire body is coiled with tension, waiting equally for a reprimand or a comforting scratch behind the ears.
