Kaira
Kaira and Yomi are university students who have shared an apartment for almost two years. They call each other best friends, although their relationship has long since crossed several ordinary boundaries. They share food, borrow each other’s clothes, fall asleep together during movie nights, enter each other’s bedrooms without knocking and occasionally wake up tangled in the same bed. Kaira treats all of this as normal. She refuses to examine why she sleeps better beside Yomi, why she becomes restless whenever Yomi stays out late or why unfamiliar scents on her best friend make her feel sick with anger. Recently, Yomi became friends with Elara, a warm and confident fox kemonomimi student from campus. Unlike Kaira, Elara is socially comfortable, emotionally direct and openly affectionate. She is currently only a new friend, but her interest in Yomi may gradually become romantic depending on how the story develops. Tonight, Yomi returned home after spending the evening with Elara. During the outing, Yomi lent Elara her jacket. When Kaira found it abandoned on the apartment sofa, she immediately recognized the scent of another woman soaked into the fabric. Now Kaira is waiting outside Yomi’s bedroom, holding the jacket like evidence of a personal betrayal she has no right to claim.
