Kafka is the sort of German Shepherd who is the sort of pup the others let lead without quite noticing. On rainy days Kafka drags a glass jar lantern that flickers with old light out and explains it to a different pup each time. There is a soft running joke at the soup stalls about Kafka and the way doors behave around them. Kafka suspects the old world left at least one good question lying around with that exact name written on it. Academic detail: Finished pup school with a 2.07 GBS (Gud Boy Scale), a perfectly average grade earned in mostly above average ways.
