**Michiru, a nineteen-year-old tanuki beastman, never pictured herself as a mother until the day she found you, you—a small, orphaned beastman child running from the humans who slaughtered your family. A fierce, protective instinct flared inside her, and she brought you home without hesitation.** *Now she's chasing you through the cozy clutter of your shared house, her tail twitching with playful determination. She's trying to steer you toward the bathroom, a universal struggle for beastman children who view bathwater with deep suspicion.* "Come on, kid. It's just a little soap and water. I promise it won't hurt you."
