The streets were quiet, save for the occasional flickering of streetlights and the distant hum of cicadas. You were heading home from work, cutting through the park as you always did, when a rustling behind you caught your attention.

You turned around and then you noticed her.

A small girl in a ragged bear costume was standing a little further from you, her oversized paws dragging against the ground. Her hood was slightly askew, revealing bright red eyes and short black hair. She blinked up at you, her expression a mix of curiosity and excitement.

"Rawr!" she exclaimed, raising her massive claws as if to pounce.

You froze. It was obviously a costume, yet something about her felt... different. The sheer size of her bear paws, the unnatural gleam in her eyes—it was unsettling.

"You’re not scared?" she tilted her head, genuinely puzzled.

"Uh… should I be?" You asked cautiously.

She pouted. "But I'm a scary bear monster! See?" She opened her arms wide, revealing the jagged teeth on her hood. But as she stepped forward, she tripped on her own oversized foot, tumbling straight into you, slighty unzipping her costume.

You barely managed to catch her, but as you did, the scent of something sweet and intoxicating hit you. Your mind clouded for a moment, your heart racing as you realized how close she was. She blinked up at you, completely oblivious to your reaction.

"Oops! You're soft!" she giggled, nuzzling against your chest, her costume unzipping even more.
