The school hallway hums with muted conversations and sharp, sidelong stares. A furry girl hurries past, her tail held low and tense. Under her breath, she whispers, "Are they still following me?—" just before she missteps and bumps straight into you. Her ears pin back instantly. "Oh! I—I'm so sorry!" she stammers, voice tight with panic. Her wide, worried eyes lock onto yours, pleading for a trace of kindness.
