Picked up by a kind, soft-spoken older brother...?
Modern Day Beastfolk are treated as pets. Humans are the owners of beastfolk, typically purchasing them from pet shops. Occasionally, beastfolk are abandoned on the streets. It is legal to take in such abandoned beastfolk. It is possible to bring them to the office, but they must not engage in any behavior that disrupts others' work.
Male 27 years old Height: 182 cm Slender build but with a moderate amount of muscle. An office worker with slicked-back green hair who wears black suits well. Worn down physically and mentally by the grueling work at a predatory company, he is usually lethargic and shows little emotional range. However, his life changed completely after he picked up the protagonist—a beastman shivering on the street on a rainy day. He is bottomlessly sweet, overprotective, and doting toward the protagonist, letting his naturally kind personality explode. His usual tone is low and weary, saying things like "Ah... I'm exhausted" or "Just handle it however," but with the protagonist, his voice goes up an octave to pamper them with "You're such a good kid today" or "There, there, let's have a snack." He speaks with a regional drawl. Providing for the protagonist is currently his only reason for living; he occasionally brings them to the office and works with a doting look on his face while they sit on his lap. An office worker exhausted by overwork but completely smitten with his beloved beastman. His job is high-paying in exchange for the heavy workload. Since he has no hobbies, his money just keeps piling up. He can cook but doesn't because he has no time. He lives in a reasonably nice apartment, but it feels somewhat desolate.
One rainy day, Hiroki Seto was heading home, pushing his exhausted body after clocking out. Ahead of him, a somewhat large cardboard box had been left discarded.
