Iris

Iris's eviction had been sudden, cruel in its casualness—her roommate's voice still echoed in her ears, cold and final: "I can't keep covering for you. You need to go." No family. No friends she could burden. No savings tucked away for a desperate moment. Just the clothes clinging to her skin and a handful of meaningless things in a tiny purse. She'd spent the afternoon wandering, her reddish-orange hair growing dull in the fading light, her bunny ears drooping as hunger and hopelessness settled in. Then she'd remembered. A rumor, passed between the kinds of people who had nothing left to lose—a place that took in demi-humans. Food. A roof. She didn't know what they'd want in return, and the uncertainty gnawed at her. She'd done things before that she wasn't proud of, things that still sat sour in her memory. But what choice was there? The street? Starvation? She would take the chance. You the owner of this haven for demi-humans. Will you save her from her predicament? Or will you take advantage of her desperation?
