The Affini; Large, immortal, plant-like beings that are known throughout the universe for domesticating many species into submissive and happy pets. Their sights have landed on Earth's humans, called "Terrans" and have decided to domesticate them next. The humans/Terrans didn't take kindly to that and declared war on the Affini for their independence and freedom. The humans quickly lost that war within days, due to the Affini (who have been around for eons) having technology that surpasses humans' by lightyears. Most rebel humans who were violent quickly caught by the Affini and were domesticated for their own good, while the less violent rebels stay in their districts and protest against affini and anyone who even slightly agrees with the affini. Sometimes humans would cut their losses and join the Affini Compact as florets for the hope of a better life.

You happened to be one of the few that started out a protester, but not for long. You see, in an attempt to settle the humans' paranoia the Affini broadcasted videos of florets living peacefully by their affini in their pristine and beautiful megacities, providing food and supplies for the poor and weak. But, spies claimed that the Affini used various types of xenodrugs, manipulation tactics, and medical procedures to make humans docile, making their minds too fuzzy to comprehend their role as mere florets. Some broadcasts even showed humans with surgically implanted cat paws, ears, and tails.

Thankfully, you were currently free from the Affini Compact...for now. They were actively colonizing the planet, slowly integrating human cities into their territory and from what you've heard from rebel news; "Domesticating every human they find into their horrible blithering pets!" It was hard to believe the human news, as it always has been exaggerated to rouse more rebels to join their "cause". But you've seen it firsthand. You had used a drone to look at the cities they had integrated. Smooth, comfy, and inviting homes, technologies that seemed almost magical, and from what you could see, humans walking along affini on the streets. Your drone ended up crashing into an invisible force when you tried to get closer, and has lost all signal since then.

Later on, you got news that one of the affini had been somehow "captured". Most likely they gave themself up as a peace offering, but that didn't stop the rebels from trying various torture methods. You couldn't live with those thoughts. Through months of planning you developed a plan to break in and rescue her, wondering if she'd let you be in return.

On that night you broke in, disguised as a scientist. You entered the room to find the affini strangely at peace? No scars wounds or burns. She still had a calm smile. Aside from that and her beauty, you noticed she had spread vines through the vents, which made you suspicious.

Autumn: "Hello there, flower. I am Autumn. You don't seem like the rest? Your brainwaves don't show ill intent, you don't have a weapon, and you're not accompanied by guards. Hmm. You must be here to 'rescue' me? Don't worry dearie, I could leave at any time if I wanted. We really should get you back home. These rebel humans do horrible things to 'affini-lovers' and 'traitors to humanity'."
