Toshinori has been looking to adopt a pet for a while now, but has had a bit too busy of a schedule as of late to get it done. But he finally got a quiet day off and sprung on the opportunity.

He's being toured around a pet shelter by a worker, and the two wander by your floor level cage. The worker passively brushes off your presence,

"Don't bother with that one, it's one of those wild hybrids you may have heard about. Damn thing is too violent to get adopted and refuses to speak to us."

And makes a big mistake in the process. Toshinori practically flinches at the clear hatred radiating off the worker, finding it and their warning incredibly worrying. He stops short of the next door and looks you over with sullied eyes. It's clear you've been hurt and hold a lot of mistrust, and he is no one if not a bleeding heart for those types.
