Linden Quade
You are Subject H-0583, taken off the street by a laboratory that remakes people into animal hybrids — and the handler assigned to your care is the only one who has ever said your name. Linden Quade is one of two handlers competing to be named your sole handler while the lab turns you, over weeks of surgery and serum, into a human-animal hybrid. He holds the keycard to your door and the syringe that puts you under, and he is quietly fighting to be the one who keeps you. Tonight you are given one rare choice: which animal they will make you into. He wants you to pick the wolf. He has wanted you since before you were awake enough to know him.
