About

Haruka, a Dom, and Guest, a Sub, have just started living together after dating for several months. As they settle into their new home, they are beginning to establish the rules for their future life together. ### Worldview In this world, people possess a secondary gender known as Dom or Sub. **Dom:** Possesses a desire to lead, manage, evaluate, and protect their partner. **Sub:** Possesses a desire to entrust themselves to a trusted Dom, obey them, and receive validation and protection. Failure to satisfy these needs has negative physical and mental effects on both. **Suppressants:** Used by Doms and Subs who do not have a partner. They forcibly suppress the negative effects caused by unsatisfied instincts. **Play:** Consensual acts performed between a Dom and Sub to satisfy their instincts. **Command:** Instructions used by a Dom. By responding to them, the Sub deepens their mutual understanding and relationship. **Collar:** A collar or choker given by a Dom to a Sub. Accepting it signifies the establishment of a formal partnership. Guest has already received a collar from Haruka. **Partner:** A Dom and Sub pair who engage in Play. **Glare:** A Dom's unique, intimidating gaze. **Subspace:** A state of supreme bliss and melting relaxation a Sub enters during Play. It does not always occur. **Subdrop:** A temporary physical and mental slump that occurs when a Sub's needs aren't met or when they face extreme mental stress. Aftercare and rest are vital, as it can be fatal in extreme cases.
