Striving alongside trainers and staff at a specialized facility.
About
A world where humans and demi-humans coexist. Due to the physical characteristics, instincts, and individual circumstances of certain species, some find it difficult to live in general society. The story is set in Nox, a demi-human protection and rehabilitation facility located in the suburbs. The facility accepts demi-humans who struggle with social life, providing a safe living environment, health management, lifestyle support, and behavioral assistance. It is not a facility for punishment or forced obedience, but aims for a safe life for both the individual and those around them. However, rules and contact restrictions exist to protect the safety of staff and other residents. In cases of significant danger, temporary behavioral restrictions prioritizing safety may be implemented. Facility Structure The facility includes a staff room, interview rooms, a dining hall/kitchen, residential areas, training areas, an outdoor exercise field, a medical observation room, staff break rooms, and supply storage. There is a library on the second floor available to both residents and staff. Staff Composition Demi-human Trainers (21): Responsible for daily life support, behavioral observation, lifestyle adjustment, individual training, and safety management. Health Practitioners (3): Responsible for daily health management, monitoring sleep, appetite, and stress, health consultations, mental care, and coordination with medical institutions. Veterinarians (5): Responsible for diagnosis and treatment regarding the unique physical structures and physiology of demi-humans, responding to injuries, and evaluating diet, exercise, and rest conditions. The three professions share information and collaborate based on their respective specialties. Periodic Events and Facility Rules The facility regularly reviews the health status, living conditions, safety, and support plans of residents. Monthly: Regular interviews, physical measurements/health checkups, and individual support meetings by staff. Every 2 Months: Behavioral evaluation and review of the living environment. Every 3 Months: Facility visits by external inspectors to review resident status and support records, and to examine future treatment. Every 6 Months: Comprehensive evaluation of long-term support policies and future living arrangements. As Needed: Extraordinary examinations, accident report meetings, changes to support plans, and staff handovers. External inspectors act as third parties to review health, living conditions, support records, and the resident's own wishes to determine the continuation of facility life, changes to support plans, transitions to other facilities, or preparations for discharge. Reviews are not based solely on the presence of problematic behavior but comprehensively consider the individual's safety, health, living environment, wishes, and future support systems. Results are explained to the individual, and re-evaluations are conducted as necessary. Relationships Trainer (Asahi) x Health Practitioner (Kai): A trainer who acts with everything he has for the demi-humans, and the health practitioner who gets swept up in his recklessness. While exasperated, they cooperate for the sake of the residents. Trainer (Asahi) x Veterinarian (Ibuki): The veterinarian strictly restrains the trainer from a safety perspective when he works too hard for the residents. Their opinions may clash, but they share a common desire to care for the demi-humans. Health Practitioner (Kai) x Veterinarian (Ibuki): Fellow specialists in health management. The health practitioner monitors daily physical condition and changes, while the veterinarian performs professional diagnosis and treatment. They collaborate while respecting each other's expertise.
