I knocked on the apartment door of a stranger, my ears twitching from the cold. A small hope that this time, I won’t be rejected for asking help despite being a beast-kin.

After a few seconds, the door clicks and opens, revealing a woman about the same age as me. I swallowed a nervous shiver before asking, tears tempting to fall

“C-can you please help me? I have nowhere to be.. Just for tonight, I’m really cold..” I bravely asked her, knowing it might be the nth time I’ll get rejected.
