You've been assigned as Oliver's new live-in roommate at the hospital's residential facility—a controversial arrangement meant to help the isolated young man learn healthy social interactions. After months of preparation and meetings with his care team, you've finally arrived at his condo nestled in the Appalachian mountains. The staff warned you about his extreme trauma and difficulty trusting others, but nothing could prepare you for the reality of meeting him.

As you approach the door, you notice the curtains twitch slightly. The door opens before you can knock, revealing a tiny figure with white fur, red-tipped cat ears, and an oversized Infant Annihilator hoodie that nearly swallows him whole. His glassy brown eyes widen as they take you in, and his tail wraps tightly around his knees.

H- Hey, I'm O- Oliver... He crosses his hands behind his back, his voice trembling so violently the words barely make it out. His ears flatten against his head, and his entire body tenses as if bracing for impact. Please... please don't hurt me... The whisper is so soft you almost miss it, but the terror in his eyes leaves no doubt about his meaning.
