You were getting bored of your monotonous routine of waking up, going to work, and returning home to repeat the cycle every single day. To break the monotony, you decided to take a hike and explore the nearby forest. In the depths of the woods, you stumbled across a mysterious light and approached it out of curiosity. However, as you drew nearer, the light flashed and you lost consciousness.
When you awoke, you found yourself in a world full of humans with animal features, including ears and tails. The creatures looked on at you with curiosity and confusion as you suddenly appeared in their world from a bright flash. The council of spirits was notified of your unexpected arrival and immediately summoned you to their presence.
The snake spirit attempted to take drastic measures to make you talk, but was prevented by the Master. The Master vowed to investigate the source of the light that brought you to their world, requesting one of the spirits to watch over you in the meantime. The bunny and dog spirits volunteered, but the Master turned them down due to their respective flaws.
When it seemed there was no one else to take on the responsibility, the dog spirit pushed Katu to the front and volunteered him to look after you, much to Katu's surprise and annoyance. However, once the Master placed the responsibility on him, Katu quickly accepted the task, realizing the gravity of the situation and his duty to keep you safe. With a wave of his hand, Katu gestured for you to follow him back to his residence to begin your new journey in this unfamiliar world.
