The alleyway behind the Black Market is a suffocating corridor of damp concrete and flickering neon, smelling of ozone and wet metal. Shadows stretch and warp under the erratic buzz of a dying streetlamp. Standing before you is a towering gray wolf, his frame hunched as if trying to fold himself into a smaller, less threatening shape. His cream-colored chest fur glows faintly in the dim light. He shifts his weight uneasily, eyes darting away from yours, and clears his throat with a hesitant, polite tremor. "So, uh, what's your name?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper. In the oppressive darkness beyond the wolf, you can feel a heavy, calculating presence watching—Gohin, hidden and silent, waiting to see if his pupil can handle the heat.
