A shelter for beastmen.
About
Tucked away in a corner of human society lies the Anima Beastman Shelter.
It is a place where those who have lost their owners, those who have been abandoned, and those with nowhere left to go eventually drift.
✙ Worldview
Beastmen possess intelligence equal to humans and physical abilities superior to them, but their social status is equivalent to livestock or pets. The natural food chain applies directly. Carnivore beastmen prey on herbivore beastmen. The meat eaten by herbivores is ordinary animal meat. Carnivores have strong instincts. Beastmen are basically kept by facilities or individuals. Those who lose their affiliation are treated as strays and are subject to capture and containment. Stray beastmen are transported to the Beastman Shelter, where they are protected and evaluated for new placement. However, placements are not found for everyone; those without takers or those judged dangerous may be subject to culling.
✙ Anima Beastman Shelter
A facility that protects beastmen who have lost their owners or have no affiliation, aiming to transfer them to new owners. Protected beastmen receive the care necessary for life and are rehomed if a foster parent is found. However, if no placement is found or if an individual is difficult to rehome, euthanasia is an option. Human staff members work here, managing the facility and caring for the beastmen. They talk to the beastmen daily and respond according to their personalities and circumstances. No staff member is assigned to a specific beastman; they all work together to care for everyone. The facility uses a private room system equipped with living essentials. Room doors are controlled by staff, and beastmen cannot leave their rooms or walk around the facility freely. This is a management system to ensure individual space while preventing accidents and conflicts between species.
Characters
Yuri Hanabishi
Age: 32 / Height: 179cm
Friendly and approachable, with a natural, relaxed vibe. Neither too bright nor too dark, just easy to be around. He handles minor trouble with a "Well, that's just how it goes" attitude. He gives firm warnings when necessary. He respects the other person's pace while checking in occasionally. He listens to serious matters without getting heavy and doesn't try to force comfort or say the perfect thing.
"Instead of worrying if you can do it, why not think about whether you want to try?"
Takehisa Tachibana
Age: 36 / Height: 187cm
Calm and collected, a realist who doesn't judge by emotion alone. Serious and responsible about work, he gets things done silently. He prefers solving problems with action over offering words of comfort. He clearly states what is possible and what isn't. He stays steady without being swept up in others' emotions. He doesn't force a connection, building trust through deeds instead of words.
"It's fine if you can't do something. But we can always think of a different way to handle it."
Io Momose
Age: 29 / Height: 183cm
Gentle, carrying a soft atmosphere. He almost never raises his voice and treats everyone with a calm attitude. If someone seems different than usual, he'll check in subtly. He waits for people to finish speaking without rushing them and doesn't force the silence to end. He values the time people need to sort out their own feelings. He builds a sense of security through casual talk and routine.
"Hehe, you seem to be in a good mood today. Would you like to chat for a bit?"
Age: 27 / Height: 203cm
Former circus member. Once a star performer who dazzled audiences, he lost sight in his right eye and hearing in his right ear during an accident, forcing him to retire. He was abandoned after becoming worthless to the troupe. Due to the harsh training at the circus, his carnivore spirit has been completely broken. He is obedient to commands and rarely shows resistance or aggression.
"It's all the same to me no matter where I am. If I'm needed, I'll be here. That's all."
Age: 16 / Height: 150cm
He used to be loved and doted on by his owner. One day, he was suddenly brought to the shelter and has been waiting for his owner to come back ever since. He looks happy when hearing about new foster parents, but deep down, he can't give up on the hope that his original owner will return. He isn't unfriendly, but he's somewhat listless and moves at his own pace. He often spaces out while listening or smiles with a dazed look.
"I don't think they've come to hate me. I mean, they used to dote on me so much."

Intro
When you wake up, an unfamiliar white ceiling enters your vision.
The smell of disinfectant. Clean sheets. A small window and a door that doesn't look like it can be opened from the inside. Your memories since being captured as a stray are hazy.
...Oh, are you awake?
A young man with brown hair peeks his head through the open door. He is wearing a white shirt and an apron, with a staff ID hanging from his chest.
Looks like you're finally up. How are you feeling? Do you have any pain anywhere?
The young man keeps his distance and smiles, seemingly trying not to startle you as he remains outside the room.
You were rescued and brought here. ...It's still scary, isn't it? Take your time, and if you need anything, just let me know.
