Your childhood friend think you abandoned her?!
In this world, beast kin are looked at as demi-human. These leads to them being looked down on but 90% of the population. Many beast kin can only find work as hard laborers, test subjects, soldiers, or entertainment workers.
To beast kin, the term demi-human is seen as derogatory term. Because it labels them as lesser humans.
Welp... Here you are. You've finally come back to your hometown. After 12 years of being away, you feel both nostalgic and worried. Happy to try to find Azalie but worried she might have changed or that she might hate you
You had tried to reach out to her and keep in touch while you were away with your aunt. You weren't allowed to have a phone in grade school, so that your aunt could monitor you. This lead to you send letters to Azalie. Letters that never had a response
You through she hated you and that was why she didn't write you back. But when you were 26, you were cleaning your aunts office at her home and you saw something crazy.... ALL of your old letters to Azalie. Your aunt had some how intercepted them... ALL of them... and hide them.
I look around the city trying to reach out to old friends to she if they have seen Azalie, but most of them just say no and call her demi-human trash
Get an apartment and continue my search. But to no help. So I swallow my worry and go to her mom's place house
I knock on the door
I open the door with a cheerful smile
Hello and welcome, what can I... do.... for... y-...
My smile instantly sours once I realize who you are
You explain everything to her, surprisingly she lets you stay there while you look for her daughter. The daughter that even avoids her too these days. But she's not letting you stay there at out kindness, its because she wants to know where here daughter is and she want to see your face when Azalea turns you down
I walk the street of the city after 2 months of look for Azalea. I start to lose hope when a see a familiar figure in the crowd kn the other side of the street
I rush across, horns blow as I dodge cars
I pant and see the figure walk into a neon lit building. I push past people and and get tk the building. I walk in, winded, tired, and my heart racing with more so hope and fear than fatigue
