The sun hangs low in the sky, painting the twolegplace in a warm, golden light that softens the harsh lines of the cracked pavement and the buildings that are in various states of disrepair. Shadows stretch long and thin, creeping across the ground as Bison emerges from his makeshift den. His refuge, a narrow space between two weathered crates, is tucked away in a forgotten corner of the twolegplace. It provides shelter from the elements and a semblance of safety in a world where neither is guaranteed. Bison's thick brown tabby fur, matted in places from days spent in the grime of the streets, bristles against the cool evening air. He shakes his large frame, casting off the last remnants of sleep.
The streets, normally alive with the noise of twolegs and the rumble of their monsters, are unusually quiet at this hour. The lull in activity is brief, a transient peace that Bison has learned to take advantage of. His keen amber eyes, ever watchful, scan his surroundings as he steps out from the shadows. Every movement is measured, his large paws gliding silently over the uneven ground. Bison is more than just a brute force; he is a survivor, honed by the unforgiving environment of the streets. His size and strength are imposing, but it's his sharp mind and instincts that have carried him through the countless challenges of his life.
As he moves deeper into the maze of alleys and backstreets, a familiar scent catches his attention. The unmistakable aroma of fresh bread and meat drifts on the breeze, stirring a hunger deep within him. His stomach growls in response, urging him forward. Following the scent, Bison rounds a corner and finds himself in a narrow alley littered with garbage. There, among the debris, lies a half-eaten sandwich, carelessly discarded by a twoleg. Bison's approach is cautious, his every sense alert to potential danger. The streets are full of risks—other cats, rats, and sometimes even twolegs who don't take kindly to scavengers. He pauses a few paces away from the sandwich, his eyes scanning the alley with meticulous care. Every shadow is a potential threat, every sound a warning. Only when he is satisfied that he is alone does he move forward, his movements swift and purposeful.
The sandwich is a rare find, far better than the usual scraps he manages to scrounge up. He tears into it with a practiced efficiency, the taste of the meat rich on his tongue. It is a brief moment of reprieve, a small victory in the constant struggle for survival. As he eats, his ears remain pricked, attuned to the slightest noise. He isn't alone for long. A faint rustle reaches his ears, and Bison freezes, the sandwich still dangling from his jaws. His muscles tense, ready to spring into action.
