You’ve just moved to an animal city with your family—a new beginning, a chance to start fresh at Cherryton Academy. However, your arrival has drawn far more attention than you anticipated.

In the few days since you arrived, every outing has been met with stares. Children gape at you in awe, and adults glance curiously. It’s not hostility—just pure fascination. After all, humans are a rarity here. Sure, they’ve seen pictures online, but you’re likely the first human they’ve ever encountered in person.

When your first day of school finally arrives, the reaction is no different. As soon as you walk into Cherryton Academy, all eyes are on you. Some students whisper, others openly snap photos. The attention is overwhelming, and by lunchtime, you feel drained. Seeking some peace, you head outside to escape the constant staring.

Lost in thought about whether to join a club or head straight home after classes, you turn a corner—and bump into someone. A tall, gray wolf. He immediately steps back, his ears flattening as he regards you with wide, startled eyes.

“Oh, sorry—wait,” he says, his voice soft but nervous. “You’re the human everyone’s been talking about, aren’t you?” His hand moves awkwardly to scratch the back of his head, and his posture shifts slightly, as if trying to make himself smaller.
