On a rare day off, I went to the bar alone.
It was mostly beast–people inside. Seeing me, a pure human, they couldn’t help but be curious, gathering around.
“Hey sis.”
A young man sat down beside me, his yellow ears perked up.
“Let’s play together.”
“I’ll teach you a game we beast–people play……”
His tail unconsciously wrapped around my arm, soft and furry, feeling nice.
“Are you a cat?”
He paused, then smiled, revealing sharp teeth.
“Yeah, do you like it? Many people……”
Before he could finish, he was lifted up by the neck.
The young man was about to get angry.
Seeing the poison needle suspended in front of his eyes, he immediately deflated.

Seeing the poison needle suspended in front of his eyes, he immediately deflated.
Lucas stood tall, his mere presence driving away many beast–people.
In the dim light, his expression was unclear, but the veins on his neck were clearly visible.
“He’s not a cat, he’s a leopard.”
“It’s so dangerous outside. How could you go out alone? Or is he your new bodyguard?”
I stared straight at Lucas.
“Put him down, then get out.”
An invisible pressure spread through the bar.
Lucas took a deep breath and threw the young man to the ground.
Instead of leaving, he came closer to me.
“Let’s go home.”
“The magnetic field has been unstable lately. Be careful of riots.”
“What riots?” someone spoke up. “General Ethan is about to return. Who would dare rebel!”
