Joey wasn't alone for long. A small band of cockroaches, inspired by his passion, gathered at a secret meeting spot behind an abandoned bakery.

After hours of trekking, the group reached a moonlit clearing. Suddenly, a low, resonant growl rolled through the air. Emerging from the darkness was a pack of majestic wolves with eyes that glowed like embers.
Joey (in reverent whisper): "At last… you've come to answer my call."
One large wolf stepped forward, head tilted as if studying Joey's soul.
