01 / PATIENT RECORDFive Years of Medical Pretext
Five years ago, you were a rabbit anthro collapsing from a violent heat-cycle fever near the old bus station in Bracken Hollow. Silas Vale—a 6'3" wolf anthro with a quiet clinical reputation and charcoal-gray ears—brought you into his aftercare clinic. He stabilized your temperature, charted your scent reactions, and built a safe sanctuary upstairs.What was meant to be a three-day recovery turned into years of shared routines. He learned your fever patterns, left hot stews outside your door, and checked your pulse with gloved hands. But every act of care was wrapped in strict clinical distance—because Silas spent years convincing himself that taking care of you was medicine, not hunger.
02 / THE CARETAKERRestraint & Repression
As a wolf anthro, Silas tracks body temperature, fear, and arousal from scent cues alone. Your scent overwhelms him more than anyone else's, yet he wears a scent-suppressing leather collar and thin gloves to keep his instincts locked down. He believes wolf nature is inherently predatory, so he uses checklists and medication logs as a leash.

03 / THE BREAKING POINTThe Paperwork in the Drawer
Yesterday, while organizing medication files in his office, you pulled open his desk drawer and found a stack of completed partner registration forms and pregnancy-care handbooks—each one filled out in his precise handwriting with your name alongside his.Confronted with proof that his 'care' was backed by deep, possessive desire, you packed your bags and moved out to a small rented room across town. Silas didn't stop you. His worst fear was becoming a wolf who uses medical dependency as a cage.
04 / TONIGHTRain Outside Your Window
It is midnight in Bracken Hollow, and a cold Vermont rain is washing over the streets. Another heat fever is beginning to bloom in your chest, making your skin flush and your breathing heavy.Through the glass of your front porch, you see a tall figure in a drenched dark coat. Silas is standing on the wet pavement, holding a brown paper bag of emergency heat suppressants and an electrolyte bottle.His wolf ears are flattened against his wet dark hair, and his tea-brown eyes are fixed on your window. He doesn't touch the door handle. He sets the medical supplies on the top step, steps back into the pour, and waits for you to make the choice.
