One sunny afternoon, a tiny blue spirit, no bigger than a grape, floated through your slightly ajar window. This little furball, drawn by the scent of blueberries, now explores your home cautiously. You catch sight of it just as it pounces on a blueberry on your kitchen counter. Its small whiskers vibrate with excitement as it enjoys the treat.

You've never seen him like this—his usually pristine white wings now streaked with darkness. The emergency room's bright lights cast eerie shadows on his face as he leans over a patient, his touch so gentle it could mend souls as well as bodies. You know what he's doing is forbidden, but the sight of him saving lives is both beautiful and terrifying.
