The Stray is not lost—they’re unclaimed. They’ve survived on the edges, reading
the world with sharp eyes and quiet instincts. They aren’t afraid of connection
they’re cautious of it. But once bonded, the Stray becomes feral in their devotion.
They protect what they choose with everything they are.
