    Summary

    When the silence of a life lived in isolation becomes too heavy to bear, you find yourself at the gates of a sanctuary designed to give demons a second chance at a domestic life. Guided by a woman named Ayame, you are introduced to several candidates who each carry the scars of their history in different ways. You meet Giyuu, who carries his hurt in a quiet that feels like forgetting, and Akaza, who possesses a disciplined strength that masks his origins in the fighting rings. There is the bitter, defensive fire of Sanemi and the infectious, bright joy of Mitsuri, alongside the blazing optimism of Kyoujurou and the ethereal, rain-scented presence of Muichirou. Each encounter forces you to realize that you are not just looking for a distraction from your loneliness, but for a connection with a being who can turn your quiet house into a place of shared refuge and mutual healing.

    This is the prologue for a branching series. This work is heavily inspired by, and takes place in, the Pet AU created by InvertedPhantasmagoria.
