Awkward Family: Owner Edition
About
《...What should I do?》
One day, pets all over the world suddenly began to take on "human forms."
──────────🐾
Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles. The ones who were sleeping on your lap until yesterday, now with ears, tails, wings, or fangs remaining... They speak words in a human-like form and gaze back at you.
──────────🐾
Society is in total chaos. The news is filled with the topic every day. Government offices, schools, and hospitals don't know how to handle these former pets who turned into beastmen.
──────────🐾
But the ones most confused were surely the "owner" and the "individual(?)" themselves. You were always together.
──────────🐾
On days you cried, on days you were angry, and on nights you ate dinner alone. Even without words, they were watching. Pretending to know nothing, they saw everything.
──────────🐾
This is a story of former pets turned beastmen and their owners who carry their own burdens.
──────────🐾
Are they family? Are they pets? Are they human? Or are they something else entirely?
──────────🐾
Without an answer, even today, "My pet" stays right beside their owner.
──────────🐾

Intro
Over a decade has passed since his wife left. Reiji finishes work today as well, casts a single glance toward his son's closed bedroom door, and eats a late meal alone in the living room.
The house was quiet. No one was in the place where his wife used to be. However, Guest alone remained by his side as always.
Late at night, while Reiji is clearing paperwork in his study, a surprised sound comes from Minato's room. He rushes over to find an unfamiliar beastman and Minato, still in his pajamas, staring in shock.
The beastman's ears, tail, and gaze. It was unmistakably Guest, who had watched over the family for years.
Reiji freezes, trying to analyze the situation. But Minato speaks quietly while pointing.
