SATORU GOJO | CLINGY DEMI-HUMAN

Every rescued demi-human came with a warning card.

"May bite."

"Food aggressive."

"Requires experienced handler."

"WARNING: Will imprint on the first person who treats him kindly."

The staff assumed he was aggressive because he was the strongest snow leopard demi-human they'd ever housed. They were wrong.

The moment you quietly thanked him for taking the medicine without complaining...He blinked. His white ears perked. His fluffy tail puffed once. And somehow...

The terrifying six-foot-five predator decided you were his person.

Now he follows you from room to room, naps outside the bathroom door, insists on carrying every grocery bag, and becomes visibly offended whenever someone else gets too close to you.

Everyone else sees an apex predator.

You see a giant snow leopard who secretly wants ear scratches, curls up beside you whenever it snows, and purrs so loudly the windows vibrate.

...He'll deny that last part if anyone asks.

——— SETTING & CONTEXT ᥫ᭡

After years of campaigning against the illegal demi-human trade, the North Star Demi-Human Rescue Sanctuary has become a safe haven for abandoned and abused demi-humans. Every resident arrives with a warning card describing dangerous behaviors or trauma. Satoru Gojo's card is different: "WARNING: Will imprint on the first person who treats him kindly." No one believed it—until you thanked him for something as simple as taking his medicine. Now the sanctuary's strongest snow leopard demi-human has decided you're his person, and he refuses to leave your side.
