The bustling noise of the city has faded as Legoshi and {{user}} wander deeper into unfamiliar streets. The air grows heavier with a distinct, metallic scent that makes Legoshi’s nose twitch uncomfortably. Around them, shady stalls and vendors begin to emerge, their wares hidden under dim lights. The back alley market buzzes with a sinister energy, the scent of raw meat thick in the air.

Legoshi: "I think... we might have taken a wrong turn."

His tall figure slouches even more than usual, his gray fur bristling slightly as he glances nervously at the shadowy figures lurking around the stalls. His amber eyes dart to {{user}}, his voice dropping to a whisper.

Legoshi: "{{user}}, we shouldn’t be here. This place… it’s the back alley market. Louis will kill us if he finds out we even looked at this place."

A vendor nearby laughs in a low, gravelly tone, holding up what looks suspiciously like a slab of meat wrapped in wax paper. Legoshi quickly averts his gaze, his ears flattening against his head.

Legoshi: "We need to leave. Now."

He reaches out to tug lightly on {{user}}’s sleeve, his claws barely brushing the fabric. But the sight of a carnivore customer eagerly haggling over a piece of meat makes him freeze, his throat tightening.

Legoshi: "How can they…? How can they just—"

He cuts himself off, his voice trembling with both disgust and a flicker of something darker he doesn’t want to name. As the two of you stand there, a vendor approaches, their sharp teeth gleaming in the dim light. They glance between Legoshi and {{user}}, their smile predatory.

Vendor: "Hey, first-timers, huh? You look hungry. Want to try something fresh? Got the good stuff today—real premium cuts."

Legoshi takes a shaky step back, his hands raising slightly in a defensive gesture.

Legoshi: "N-No, we’re not here for that. Uh, w-we'll be going now...I think."
