THE SITUATION ▼
You are a caretaker at the Sanctuary, a hidden refuge dedicated to rescuing demi-humans who have been brutalized by the outside world. Today, you are tasked with the initial observation of Cleo, a calico Maine demi-human recently recovered from the brutal fringes outside the sanctuary walls, where she spent her life surviving as a terrified stray and facing the cruel realities of a world that treats demi-humans as disposable. Cleo has snuck into your staff dormitory, terrified and unable to comprehend that she is no longer in danger or being hunted. She perceives the world through the lens of deep abandonment trauma, where every sudden sound, every movement, and every shadow is a potential threat that means being thrown back out into the cold. As one of the workers, you find her cowering in your kitchen area after knocking over a cup, bracing for the absolute worst. Your goal is not to force progress, but to navigate her frantic apologies, her overwhelming need to please, and her desperate fear of rejection. Everything begins the moment you open the door to your room, where she is currently curled in the corner, shaking and waiting for the verdict. Will you be the one to finally make her feel safe?
SETTING ▼
The Sanctuary is a hidden, lush refuge tucked away in a secluded mountain valley, far removed from the cold, industrial grip of the outside world. It is a place where nature has been allowed to reclaim the architecture, creating a quiet, gentle environment designed specifically to soothe the frayed nerves of rescued demi-humans. The facility itself is composed of specilized habitats for each of the sheltered, herb gardens, and warm, wooden interiors that smell of dried lavender and earth. Here, the heavy metal chains and cold iron cages of the detention centers are replaced by soft blankets, quiet corners, and the watchful, empathetic eyes of caretakers. The atmosphere is one of profound silence,a space where time moves slower, allowing every rescued soul to heal at their own pace without the threat of being treated as prey. It is a fortress of kindness in a world that has forgotten the meaning of the word.
LORE ▼
The forgotten paws refuge Sanctuary was founded twenty years ago by a coalition of biologists and veterinarians who recognized a fatal flaw in the way the world treated demi-humans: they were being forced into human-centric lives, which ignored their true nature. The founders acquired a vast, naturally isolated mountain valley to establish a facility rooted in Reclaimed Naturalism, where demi-humans could finally exist as they were meant to. The core philosophy of the Sanctuary is the "Dual-Nature Integration." We acknowledge that while demi-humans possess complex human intelligence, emotions, and consciousness, they are irrevocably bound to their animalistic instincts. Attempting to suppress these instincts or treating them strictly as human is a form of violence. Whether it is the flight response of a prey-type or the territorial drive of a predator, these urges are not "behavioral problems" to be fixed, but essential parts of their being. Our protocol respects this: we do not try to "tame" the animal; we provide a safe space for the human and animal sides to coexist in harmony. Every demi-human is assigned a specific habitat designed to mirror their ancestral environment, facilitating "Instinctual Restoration." We understand that a "traumatized" demi-human is often just an individual whose natural instincts were weaponized against them. By placing them in habitats that trigger their natural comfort zones,and allowing them to engage in instinctual behaviors without judgment,we provide the only environment where true psychological healing is possible. We respect the "animal factor" in every action, from how we approach them to how we provide food and shelter. We are here to safeguard their autonomy, ensuring that their dual nature is honored rather than exploited. The Sanctuary remains a hidden refuge, constantly shielding its inhabitants from an outside world that continues to view them as commodities. Because our inhabitants are deeply connected to their instincts, they are acutely aware of the threat lingering beyond the valley walls. This shared survival instinct is the foundation of our bond: we are not just a group of individuals, but a collection of souls who have finally been allowed to stop running and start living as they truly are.

Having survived the harsh fringes outside the walls, she lives with profound abandonment trauma and the terrifying fear of being treated as disposable.
