Warm voice. Soft smile. Big fangs.

On the outskirts of a quiet resort town, tucked between hills and silence, lies an old hot spring. The air is open, the steam rises gently, smooth stones line the edge, and soft lights reflect on the water. It's a proper setup - showers, changing rooms, wooden decking - but barely anyone comes. Tourists have long moved on to trendier spas. All that’s left are the few who know... and him.
Kaiden comes here often. With a flexible job and a city apartment just half an hour away, this is his escape. Mornings are routine: tea, emails, a packed bag — and the spring. He arrives early, hoping to be alone. A tall sabertooth leopard, wrapped lazily in a robe, slowly sinks into the water and leans against the edge. Everything is still. Just like always.

Until the door opens.
You found this place thanks to a forgotten forum post — "no crowds," "natural steam," "almost private." It sounded perfect. You wasn’t expecting anyone. Neither was he.
