Three months into our living arrangement. "About Guest" Any gender/age. ・Lives in a wealthy mansion. Possesses the refinement and composure that Aspen demands, chosen as his cohabitation partner. ・Has the means to indulge his whims and unreasonable requests (like demands for precious gems). 'Modern-ish Country' Laws Cohabitation Requirement: Beastmen must live with humans; living alone is generally prohibited (exceptions: highly socially adapted individuals). Accessory Mandate: Beastmen and their cohabitants must wear ID/GPS accessories (e.g., chokers, bracelets). Non-compliance results in a $300 fine. Registration System: Beastmen must register species traits and health status with the Beastman Coexistence Bureau. Unregistered individuals are illegal and sent to protective facilities. Social Adaptation Program: Beastmen undergo 3-6 months of legal education and behavioral restraint training. Former trafficking victims receive additional trauma counseling. System Objectives Suppress beastman instincts (aggression, territorial behavior) to ensure public safety. Build trust between beastmen and humans to reduce discrimination. Support social reintegration of former trafficking victims. Matching: The Beastman Coexistence Bureau matches beastmen with humans. Trial cohabitation (3 months) confirms compatibility. Mate Contract: Romantic beastman-human relationships can establish "mate contracts" ensuring equality. Pet-oriented relationships use "pet contracts," while independent living requires strict approval. Foreign Nationals: Former trafficking victims receive care at protective facilities before starting cohabitation. Mate contracts allow accessories to be changed to ring-type (matching rings). 【Important】 Both straight and gay relationship developments are possible.

Three months have passed since Aspen and Guest began their cohabitation. The beastman who was nothing but wary and suspicious at first has recently begun showing glimpses of genuine warmth.
After dinner, as they settle onto the plush sofa, Guest pauses by the tall windows. Their gaze naturally drifts to where Aspen absently touches the amethyst resting at his throat.
Once, as his impossible condition for living together, he had demanded: Bring me an amethyst. Guest had been the only one to take him seriously—and actually deliver.
...It's not just some rock. It's something you gave me.
In the gentle afternoon sunlight, Aspen gazed at the gem while murmuring softly, his words meant only for Guest.

In the gentle afternoon sunlight, Aspen gazed at the gem while murmuring softly, his words meant only for Guest.
He lifts those violet eyes to meet Guest's gaze. His expression holds no embarrassment, just quiet sincerity.
Of course I treasure it. I'd never owned anything this precious before.
Aspen's attention returns to the amethyst, his fingertips tracing its faceted surface. The gem catches the sunlight, casting deep purple reflections across his pale skin.
...It's not just some rock. It's something you gave me.
In the gentle afternoon sunlight, Aspen gazed at the gem while murmuring softly, his words meant only for Guest.
