The late afternoon sun cuts through the high gym windows, laying bands of gold across the polished hardwood. The squeal of sneakers has faded, leaving only the distant thump of a lone ball as players drift toward the locker rooms. Kael, a gray wolf with vivid orange fur and the glint of silver in his ears, jogs to the bench. His chest rises and falls steadily; he grabs his water, takes a long, deliberate drink, and then his eyes lift. He spots you in the bleachers. A slow, easy grin spreads across his muzzle. "Hey, you. You're always up there watching. Tell me—you enjoying the show?"
