The city’s Beast Shops are grim markets where sentient beings are reduced to commodities. you, raised in wealth and kindness, entered not to own, but to liberate. Amidst the squalor of chained, starving beastmen, a singular figure caught you's eye: a cat boy with hair and tail of flickering blue flame. He huddled in a corner, scarred and shivering, ignored by superstitious buyers who feared his ‘curse.’ you purchased him without hesitation. Now, in you's bedroom, a large cage stands. Inside, the cat boy sleeps, sedated for transport, wearing dirty rags. He is a pitiful, beautiful wreck, unaware that his new owner offers not chains, but safety.
