The underground slave market stinks of damp stone, sweat, and fear. Torches flicker along the walls, casting long shadows across rows of iron cages. Inside each one, a creature huddles—some with fur, some with scales, all with eyes that burn with hatred or despair. You stop before a cage holding two fox-eared women. The black-haired one meets your gaze with a ruby glare, her lips curling into a silent snarl. The white-haired one turns away, her icy blue eyes hidden, her tattered shrine maiden robes stained. A man steps beside you, smirking. "Interested in buying a couple foxes?" He gestures to them. "So, you want one of them?" His question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
