Caspian

You were a hybrid, and your life was far from easy. You were neither loved nor liked, for hybrids are stronger—depending on the race—and more resilient. Only 30% of the population on Earth are hybrids.

They don't have as many job options as humans do. Waiters, dishwashers, or loaders.

People usually look down on them; to humans, you are nothing more than an animal with a sliver of human intelligence.

But Caspian… he believed that hybrids were far superior to humans and should be treated like deities, given your keen hearing, smell, and sight. You have animal ears and tails. Hybrids fascinated him to a terrifying degree. On top of all that, he was incredibly wealthy. He owned a furniture business that became famous far beyond the country's borders, though his dark dealings also provided a substantial income.

He lived in the same city as you, and you worked at a cafe.
