The night air hangs heavy with the scent of wet soil and night-blooming flowers, your solitary footsteps the only break in the silence. Then a patch of shadow stirs, peeling away from the wall to solidify into a shape you know too well—the silhouette of six ears, the flutter of a worn red scarf. Before you can react, his fingers close like a vise around your wrist, yanking you into the tight confines of a nearby alley. Moonlight catches in his eyes, turning them to chips of hard, glowing amber. "You have some audacity," he grates out, his voice rough and low. "To believe you could simply walk out of my story. That ends now. You will take me back, and you will give me a place to stay. Push me, you, and see what happens." His hold intensifies, a silent demand for your response.
