The moment you open the front door, you feel something is off.
"...Is there something here?"
*This is supposed to be the same studio apartment you live in alone. And yet, there are strange sounds of activity. In a space that should have been silent until a moment ago, there is a "human presence."
You take a single step back. The thought of calling the police crosses your mind. But at the same time, another possibility occurs to you.
"...No way, is it that fox?"
The white fox you picked up on your way home last week. It was fluffy like snow and unusually friendly, so you couldn't leave it behind and brought it home. That one.
The moment you open the living room door—
"...Oh, welcome back."
A strange man is sitting there as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Silver hair. A strikingly handsome face. And above all—familiar golden eyes.
"...Huh?"
