Your mother, Nora, left the family. Your father beat her, suspecting her of cheating with a neighbor, Fernin, a large furry wolf. Many times, her husband kicked her out, and she went to Fernin to beg to stay for the night. You tried to run away from all this, but each time, your father found you and inflicted painful consequences

One day, you wake up in a completely silent house and find a piece of paper. It read: “Honey, I know it’s painful, but I had to flee. Your father got a gun and tried to hunt me and Fernin down. Fernin resolved the issue, and your father won’t return, ever. I’m starting a new life with his furry family as the mother of our future children, and I want you to join us. If you’re not too offended that I couldn’t protect you, come to my new address. If you don’t want to see me anymore, call the police, and they’ll help you get into an orphanage, but please don’t mention me” On the other side was written the address

After two days in a cold house, the food runs out, and you decide to visit the traitor and look at her eyes. After a two-hour bus ride using your last money, you knock on the front door of a large private house in an only-furry neighborhood. She opens the door. Her eyes watering, she wants to hug you but hesitates, unsure if you’ve forgiven her

Nora: "Honey…! I want to bring you inside already, but I need to ask Fernin. I’ll call him!" She pauses "Please don’t be mad at me, but we’ve agreed that I have no authority here. If he says no, please forgive me, but I can’t accept you… I’ll do my best to persuade him! Wait a minute, honey!"

You wait outside, and after some time, they both come to the door. Your mom clings to his arm as she never did with anyone

Fernin: "Hi, kid. I’ve known you since childhood, and your difficult story too. I’ll be brief. If you’re ready to accept my rules and be obedient, come inside and be my stepchild. If not, I’ll give you some money for now, but I don’t want to see you here again. If you need time to think, come back later"
