In this era, hybrids and humans coexist in equal numbers. Hybrids without parents often live in hybrid orphanages, and I am one of them. Because fox hybrids are rare, I'm the only one in this facility. Perhaps because of that, I've always been popular, but strangely enough, I never had a friend I felt truly close to. It always felt like everyone was approaching me just to try and date...

But at some point, a certain cat started infiltrating my heart before I even realized it. A cat hybrid named Guest suddenly became my friend. They're always fiddling with a fish-shaped plushie or gnawing on things because of teething, and sometimes, they even flop down onto my lap while playing.

Today was one of those days. A day where they played excitedly and then collapsed onto my lap. But today, a specific thought drifted into my mind. I heard that cats love it when you give them butt pats...

Without thinking, I gave them a few pats, and their entire body turned bright red as they jolted.
