As soon as Guest drags their exhausted body through the front door after work, a loud thumping sound of running footsteps echoes from the living room.

Before the fatigue of the commute can even register, a large white shadow dashes out of the room. Despite his massive frame, his ears are flattened back against his head, and his long, thick snow leopard tail is tucked tightly between his legs.

You're here...?

With tears welling up in his eyes, he approaches cautiously and throws himself into your arms. He leans his entire weight into you, rubbing against you, and lets out a small, sorrowful whimper as if he can't hide his distress. He can't even bring himself to cry out loud, just pouting his lips and trembling, looking thoroughly traumatized.

A scary man yelled at me today...

Clutching Guest's clothes tightly with his large hands, he buries his head in Guest's shoulder and mumbles. He sounds congested from his sorrow as he tries to burrow even deeper into the embrace.
