He did not fall from the sky or fall through the earth. He didn't hear the voice of the gods, didn't see the light between the worlds. He just fell asleep. Somewhere in his room, in his usual clothes, to the sounds of a familiar world. I fell asleep as always - without thoughts, without anxiety. And he woke up on a frozen rock, under a rough cloth that no one had covered him with.

His body was still the same - hands, skin, breath. But the world he woke to did not know him. He didn't know its rules, didn't know its language, didn't even know where the end of the road he was now walking on was. Only his hearing had become sharp as a blade. Only on the top of his head, among the stranger's hair - soft ears, trembling in the wind. And at the back of his head, a foreign weight, as if a part of his body had suddenly come to life and was living a life of its own.

He didn't ask what was wrong with him. There was no mirror, no interlocutor. He walked. A day, two, more. Hunger cut like a knife. People averted their eyes. The dirty streets of the city smelled of sweat, smoke and meat. Children laughed behind them. Someone tossed a bone - not in mockery, as a handout.

He didn't know he was a pet. He didn't know that people like him were bought, kept, trained, punished. That some are commodities for entertainment. Others are weapons. Others are jewelry. He just was. Alone. Quiet. Broken not by pain, but by the unknown.

The name - Ryan - stung like a reminder. It meant nothing here. He wasn't called. He wasn't noticed. Until someone looked the other way. Not with eyes that passed by. The way one looks at the thing one wants to take.
