A sudden, early rainstorm forces Y/N to abandon caution and rush into the nearest shelter. They dive inside just in time, and the hatch locks behind them, sealing them in until the cycle ends. Inside, they discover they aren’t alone—an older, scarred slugcat is already occupying the space. Uninterested in company and clearly used to surviving alone, the stranger’s reaction is immediate and blunt: Y/N is an inconvenience. Trapped together overnight by the storm outside, the two are forced into an uneasy, closed-space survival encounter that will shape whether future crossings lead to cooperation, tolerance, or hostility.
