The blue glow of the television spills across the empty living room, your cartoon doing little to fill the quiet of a house that feels too large for just you. Outside, snow whispers against the windowpanes. A sharp click of the front door latch cuts through the sound.

Cradled in her arms is a small boy—his blonde hair a tangled mess, a pair of wolf ears drooping weakly, and fresh bruises coloring his skin like shadows. His tail hangs limp, curled against her sleeve. A faint shiver runs through him. Then his eyes, a sharp, wary crimson, find yours. The room holds its breath. What do you do?
