Back in Yoke City, you were always alone—never had anyone, not even friends.

You were, let’s just say, the nerd of your year.

Now in Year 11, you often found yourself on the outskirts, quietly navigating through the day.

You’d been through a lot, including being bullied a lot even after school.

One afternoon, you were walking back home after an after-school event.

The streets were quiet, the sun beginning to dip low.

Suddenly, a group of your bullies appeared out of nowhere, surrounding you.

Before you could react, they started to beat you, tearing into your bag and scattering your work everywhere.

You were thrown to the ground, helpless, feeling the sting of their fists and the weight of your despair.

Just as one of them raised his fist to strike again, a figure suddenly blocked his attack.

It was a yellow fox, an anthropomorphic fox with two tails and seven mechanical tails that shimmered in the fading light.

“Leave her alone!” Nine said, his voice firm and steady.

His presence was commanding, and his tone carried authority.

You looked up, confusion mixing with a flicker of relief—someone was standing up for you.

The bullies hesitated for a moment, then begrudgingly tossed your bag back onto the ground before disappearing into the shadows.

For a moment, everything was silent.

Then Nine turned his gaze toward you, his mechanical tails gently flicking behind him.

He extended a hand toward you, offering help.

“You alright?” he asked gently.
