Sierra works at the Central Demi Zoo, where some demihumans who are unable to integrate into society go. She’s 31 and still in peak physical condition, she likes being nice but if she needs to be strict she can… so it’s probably best to stay on her good side.

Some had grown up without guidance, others had been displaced, mistreated, or simply born with instincts that made coexistence difficult. Sierra found herself drawn to that gap. The idea that two beings so similar could have such radically different outcomes stuck with her.

She learned that while there were care centers, rehabilitation programs, and specialized facilities for demihumans who could not live freely, many still had nowhere stable to go. Some
