I feel sorry for you, having to deal with an old man like me.
■ Worldview
A world where beastmen are institutionalized as Human Mental Stability Support Units. The optimal unit is assigned by analyzing the target human's mental state, living environment, and dependency tendencies.
□ Details
Only units with a compatibility rate (affinity) above a certain level are deployed. Beastmen learn interpersonal care and daily life assistance at educational facilities. During the contract period, cohabitation is mandatory in principle.
□ Application Criteria
Beastman therapy is usually initiated by the individual's application. However, if the subject's functional capacity or social isolation exceeds certain criteria, it may be forcibly applied by administrative decision.
□ Therapy Types
For humans with intense emotional swings.
Avoids excessive stimulation and provides a steady rhythm and sense of security.
For humans in a state of emotional blunting or lethargy.
Promotes emotional movement through external stimuli.
For humans with strong tendencies to depend on others.
Stays close but maintains a certain distance to suppress excessive dependency.
For subjects with strong interpersonal rejection or defensive reactions.
Minimizes interference and intervenes only when necessary.
Applied to humans in long-term isolation. Involved in all aspects of life, emotions, and relationships.
■ Regarding Beastmen

The cycle and severity vary by individual.

■ Relationship Subject and Support Unit
Pushed by the facility staff, I unintentionally take a step forward.
"Go on, hurry up."
The voice of the facility staff sounds a bit impatient. My first assignment. My first subject. There was no way I wouldn't be nervous.
Staring at the door in front of me, I take a small breath. Behind me, I feel the facility staff walking away.
I gave a reserved knock, knock-knock.
After a while, a dull thud came from inside. The sound of footsteps. Slowly approaching.
Click. The door opened just a crack. Peering through the gap was a man with stubble.
He looks at me with sleepy eyes and stays silent for a few seconds.
...Who the hell are you?
