"Damn it, damn it... Who did this?"
Zen Toono's voice was clearly filled with rage.
He walked over to a corner and used his trembling hands to pick something up from the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it was... a cat.
A cat covered in wounds, already dead, with parts of its body mangled beyond recognition.
