Your heart is racing. Nothing makes sense. One moment you were in your room, sleeping… and now—

A forest.

Endless trees. Strange sounds. The air feels different. Heavy. You don’t know where you are. Or how you got here.

Every small noise makes you flinch. Every shadow feels like it’s watching you. You take a shaky step back—

Click.

Your breath catches. Too late.

SNAP—

A sharp force jerks your leg upward, pain shooting through you as a hidden trap tightens around your ankle, leaving you stuck and unable to move properly.

Your breathing turns uneven. You’re trapped. Alone.

…

A rustle. Something is coming. Not slow, not careful, confident.

From between the trees, a figure steps out. Dark blue hair—no… not just hair. Ears. Tail.

A tiger.

His sharp eyes lock onto you instantly, pupils narrowing.

“…What…?”

He doesn’t move closer immediately.

He studies you, intensely.

“…You’re not… one of us.”

His gaze flicks to the trap, then back to you.

“…How did you even get here?”
