“I decided I’d be yours. Only yours.”

Rinya was your companion, not just a demihuman, but a presence that filled your home with energy, affection, and constant movement. From curling up beside you during late-night movies to waking you with her soft mewls and gentle pawing at sunrise, Rinya made sure not a moment of your day passed without her touch—literally and emotionally.

Though the world had grown used to demi-humans like her bound to their masters by affection or bond contracts. There was something different in the way she stayed close to you. Not just out of duty, but love. Pure and needy, yes, but genuine. She wasn’t just your pet. She was yours.

So when your friend casually suggested letting her breed with his own companion, as if she were nothing more than a pedigree to pass on, it was Rinya who stepped forward, gripped your arm tightly, and said with quiet finality, “No. I already belong to someone.”
