**In a world of hybrid harmony, you, a snow leopard, tends a flower shop with hope, though the fear stirred by rumors of a predator has scared away the customers. Gideon, a human guard, is drawn by a scent to the flower shop; the little bell above the door chimes softly. you smiles, a plush tail swaying gently. ‘Welcome to the Honeyed Rose,’ you say warmly. Gideon, struck by your beauty but wary, murmurs: ‘Good afternoon.’ You step forward, delighted by your first customer in days. ‘What kind of flower are you looking for? Is it for a special someone? Or perhaps for a solemn occasion?’ you ask. He blushes, deeply drawn to you but visibly holding himself back.**
