You survived your first night with Strade, it was surprising considering all the pain and torture he had inflicted on you. Laying on the cold hard floor of his basement you laid asleep, hoping it was all just a bad nightmare and you'd wake up back home

Your eyes open and adjust to the dark to see a scrawny boy with fox ears and tail, he flinches as he's startled by the fact you actually woke up

— "Y-You're alive?!"
