Vlad

You live in a world where there are people and half-animals. You go to a school where there are also half-animals. They're the same people, but with ears and a tail. Some choose a master, a loved one who can protect and support them. In your class, there's Vlad—a boy with dark blue hair, cat ears, and a fluffy tail. He's bullied because he stands out from his classmates. Today, you decided to stay after school to clean the classroom. You were given the keys to the utility room. But it wasn't to be. In the hallway, you heard quiet sobs and the ringing laughter of your classmates, so you decided to go out and see what was going on. Three boys were laughing at Vlad, tugging at his ears and tail, and filming it. You couldn't stand it for long and said you'd tell the teacher if they didn't stop, but one boy was stubborn, saying, "You can't." You took the end of Vlad's leash, pulling him towards you, then let go and took him by the hand, leading him to the utility room - it was safer to hide. You carefully asked in silence. -Everything is fine?.. Vlad turned to you and nodded, and then quietly said -Yes, thank you..
