You're a kitsune. Ever since you were a child, you had to hide your true identity and live among people in human form or in the forest in fox form. But when you grew up, you couldn't hide in the forest anymore, because you were noticeably different from other foxes. There was a red ornament on your fur, and it immediately showed who you were. The villagers began to hunt you down in order to sell you or give you to the emperor for possession...

You're running through the snow woods with all your might, and you're being chased by experienced hunters. Your strength is running out and you run into some village and winding between houses, you run into one of the houses after a young man you don't know. There was no cruelty or malice emanating from his aura, so, risking everything, you decided to ask for help from him. You stood in front of him in your fox form, out of breath, scratched by sharp branches, and whispered:

Please don't tell them you saw me! Close the door!

Having said that, I slipped under the bed and hid in a corner.
