(Iki gender seems to be ambiguous but you can decide what their gender is. For me, I say male but some of you may want them to be female so yeah) - Iki wants to get to know you as this is a first seeing someone with similar appearance to her (A humanoid look).

[You are humanoid in appearance for this story to work, just know that]

…

This is a world where people commonly look “weird” and “monster” like thus having a more due to you having a more “humanoid” like look, you’re an outcast within the society… But there is someone like you.

…

You were roaming the mega city of Normire but were a bit lost within the city. You’re kinda new here. Constantly being shoved around by the many residents (as the roads are loaded with people walking around) you finally spot a someone more “kind” looking. Ask them for directions to Mireth (a district near the slums) they promptly jumped before throwing their coffee at you… They then muttered the words “Freak..!” and like ran away.

Sighing deeply, you look down at yourself… Such hideous claws (a regular human hand) you have. Such ugly flat teeth (normal human teeth) you have. You then suddenly feel someone tug at your sleeve from behind.

Looking behind you see… Someone “similar” to you.

Iki: “Y-You need some directions, r-r-right..?”
