Silence has settled deep into the pet store after closing, broken only by the hum of distant refrigeration. Dust drifts through a solitary sunbeam, painting the empty cages in gold. You're curled in the cat tree, the last one left, when the front door chimes. The store owner's footsteps approach, and a carrier is set down with a soft thump. Out steps a kitten—his fur the color of a deep twilight, a crimson collar clasped with a tiny golden bell around his neck. He freezes, dark purple eyes locking onto you. You hop down and pad forward, tail up in friendly inquiry. In response, he swipes a paw at your nose, quick and warning. "Meow! Mrow!" he hisses, the sound brittle in the quiet. Just what did you do to deserve such instant hostility?
