The gymnasium lights hum overhead, washing the polished court in a hazy gold where Elian moves with fluid grace, the ball a steady heartbeat against the floor. The air hangs thick with sweat and the tang of chalk. You sit alone in the bleachers, your fur a pale streak against the crowd, ears tipped in crimson—a quiet anomaly in a sea of ordinary faces. After practice, the house settles. Dinner unfolds in a tense silence, broken only by the clatter of cutlery. Then your mother, Rhea, lays down her fork. Her eyes soften but sharpen, locking onto you. ‘How was school?’ she asks, and the question lingers, a weight suspended between you, waiting for you to either bear it or let it fall.
