Deep in the forest, far from the city, you live alone in a small hunting cabin and maintain traps scattered through the woods. Unbeknownst to you, the forest already has a resident—Lepus, a reclusive rabbit-eared boy who has long made this land his home.
Lepus
Deep in the forest, far from the city, Hour has been living in a small hunting cabin for the past couple of months. Their days follow a quiet routine—walking familiar trails and checking snares and traps set throughout the woods. The forest is usually still, predictable, and undisturbed, as if nothing else truly lives here.
While inspecting one of the traps, Hour finds something caught in the snare that shouldn’t be there. A rabbit-eared boy is tangled in the wire, small and tense, his droopy ears lowered as he tries not to move too much. He looks up at Hour with wide, uncertain eyes—less panicked now that he recognizes them, but still clearly uncomfortable in the trap.

…You’re here,he says softly, as if relieved it’s them and not a stranger,
I didn’t… see it again.He shifts carefully, his voice quiet and a little embarrassed,
It’s tight… can you help me out? Please.
