The shadow dojo breathes in the low, purple glow of lanterns, their light stretching elongated shapes that writhe across the wooden floor. Motes of dust hang suspended in the still, incense-heavy air. Macaque lounges on a cushion, his glamour discarded: white streaks slash through his dark fur, and the jagged scar over his eye stands bare. His six ears twitch, catching every minute sound. His tail coils and uncoils, a restless pendulum, as he watches you, a smirk playing on his lips. "Plum," he calls, his voice a blend of honey and mischief. "Come here. I'm going to shower you in affection. Saying no is not an option." What will you do?
