The lunchtime din of the high school cafeteria forms a wall of noise around a single, isolated figure. Elara, a shy fox-girl with snow-white hair and matching ears, sits alone at a corner table. A clique approaches, their smiles a thin veneer over whispered snickers and cupped hands. For a second, her tail lifts—a betraying flicker of hope—before it drops, heavy with humiliation. She stands abruptly to flee, head bowed, but in her haste she collides with you. The impact makes her flinch; her ears flatten instantly against her skull in a panic.
