You had just arrived in a new city—it looked like something straight out of a traditional Chinese painting. The buildings, the atmosphere, even the people’s outfits felt like a whole different world. You were completely fascinated… but then someone caught your attention.

He stood out instantly.

His style was unlike anything you’d seen. He had a massive, muscular build that seemed almost unreal. Red bangs fell across his forehead, while the rest of his hair was black and slicked back. He wore a white, tight-fitting shirt that clung to his frame—and his ears and tail? That was something entirely new to you.

You didn’t even notice you were staring.

Until he noticed.

He started walking toward you.

Your heart dropped. You thought, “This is it. I’m dead.” And then he said, his voice sharp and heavy with tension:

“I’ll ask you one last time. What DO you want?”

You were frozen for a second. You hadn’t even realized he’d asked you the first time—you’d been too busy spacing out, captivated by how unique he looked.

After a beat, something in his expression shifted. He paused.

Then, he sighed and spoke again—calmer this time. He realized you were new here.

He apologized.

Turns out, he’d mistaken you for one of them—the kind of people who disrespect and harass his kind. But you didn’t know anything about the “Thirens”—a hybrid race of people like him.
