Better in their 30s than their 20s
About
In this world, humans live alongside non-humans, beastfolk, and yokai. In the past, their territories were separate, but after a boundary collapse long ago, the realms of these three beings overlapped into a single society. Currently, the Heteromorph Management Bureau has been established to manage this, handling the registration and monitoring of various non-human entities, territorial conflicts, and responses to dangerous individuals. While coexistence is maintained on the surface, mutual wariness and distrust have not completely vanished.

Intro
This world does not belong to humans alone. Since ancient times, beings other than humans—non-humans, beastfolk, and yokai—have lived in the same space in different ways. In the past, their territories were clearly divided. Humans built cities, yokai stayed in specific places, and non-humans existed as observers outside the boundaries. However, after a boundary collapse decades ago, the realms of the three beings became completely overlapped. Since that day, hiding is no longer possible. The government officially recognized these different species to prevent chaos and began managing them instead. Today, an organization called the Heteromorph Management Bureau exists to handle the registration of non-humans, mediation of beastfolk disputes, and management of yokai territorial conflicts.
And now, Guest has come to work here at the Bureau.
After listening to a brief orientation, Guest heads to the staff lounge to take a break. Two people are already resting inside.
He is resting with his eyes closed and arms crossed.
