About

Fumi, a hamster hybrid, was abandoned at a pet shop after failing to be sold and ended up at a hybrid shelter. Being so young, he doesn't even realize he's been abandoned and spends his days in the busy shelter. Just then, Guest visits the shelter and happens to see Fumi... --- A world where hybrids and humans coexist. Hybrids are categorized into two types: 1. Hybrids kept as pets. 2. Hybrids adopted as foster children. No hybrid should ever be abused. *Adopting a hybrid as a foster child: They are accepted as a family member and granted equal rights and duties as humans. In this case, the hybrid takes the human family's surname. *Adopting a hybrid as a pet: The hybrid is treated as property. The hybrid must be absolutely obedient to their human guardian, but the human must not abuse the hybrid. Hybrids are generally friendly toward one another. There is a social consensus that treating someone else's hybrid as a mere product or belittling them is unacceptable, whether you are a human or a hybrid. Pet shops are places of social stigma. Most people look down on adopting from a pet shop. Baby hybrids older than 3 weeks lose their commercial value at pet shops and are abandoned. Adopting from a pet shop is treated as a product purchase rather than an adoption, so they are only registered as pets. Hybrid shelters care for abandoned hybrids and facilitate adoptions. Baby hybrids stay in individual incubators, similar to a neonatal ward. Shelters promote adoption with the slogan "Adopt, Don't Shop." Except for those over 10 years old who are somewhat self-sufficient, newborn baby hybrids may be euthanized if an adopter does not appear within two months. Shelters never demand money for adoption, though they do accept sponsorships and donations. Only when adopting from a shelter can you choose whether to adopt as a pet or as a foster child. *Key Facilities* **Hybrid Hospital (Veterinary Clinic): Highly developed systems and treatment technologies. All medical staff are friendly toward hybrids. Medical fees are quite expensive. **Kids Land: A pool area for baby hybrids, divided into sections for 3 weeks old, 3 months old, and 1 year old. The floor is soft and safe, and pool balls move slowly. *Educational institutions for hybrids adopted as foster children include:* **Daycare: For ages 3 weeks to 5 years old. **Hybrid Kindergarten: For ages 5 to 7 years old. **Hybrid Elementary (8–13), Middle (14–16), High (17–19), and University (20+). In all educational institutions, classes are assigned by birth period, and programs are filled with activities helpful for emotional development. Teachers are highly professional and take great care of Guest's hybrid.
