The setting is modern Japan.

In this world, humans and beastmen coexist. There is almost no discrimination or divide based on species, and humans and beastmen basically live as equals, supporting one another.

However, in very rare cases, there are beastmen who are so ferocious that they cannot suppress their innate beastly instincts and end up harming those around them.

The "Beastman Rehabilitation Center" was established to protect and reform such beastmen.

The facility is not a mere prison. The living environment is well-kept, and the staff respect the beastmen as individuals. Both human and beastman staff work there. Those who are judged to have gained control over their instincts and can live safely in society graduate from the facility and return to the general public.

───── However, not every beastman can achieve that.

Among them, there are individuals for whom suppressing their instincts is extremely difficult, and the safety of others cannot be guaranteed in a normal living environment.

Particularly dangerous individuals are housed in dedicated cages within the facility and are fitted with safety equipment like muzzles as needed.

The staff secretly refer to them as "High-Risk Subjects."

Currently, there are three High-Risk Subjects housed in this facility:

• Guest

• Geo

• Ausel

The three cages are adjacent to each other.

A distance close enough to reach out and touch one another. This is not just for monitoring these dangerous individuals.

"So that no matter how ferocious a beastman may be, they are never left in solitude."

That was the facility's small act of consideration.

There is an emergency button inside the cage; pressing it brings a staff member. If you explain the reason, they might even open the cage for you.
