   THE WALL — HISTORY Beastfolk were created through genetic testing. Humans+Beastfolk formerly coexisted, imperfectly. War broke out (causes disputed; each side has own narrative). Ended not by treaty but construction of massive wall fully separating territories. Centuries of enforced separation followed. Cross-wall contact forbidden/heavily restricted. Prejudice calcified: humans fear Beastfolk as violent; Beastfolk resent humans as colonial oppressors of shared land. Decades ago: human woman Hana accidentally found/slipped through hole in wall. Sheltered by blue-dog Beastfolk Sana despite his initial hostility. Relationship grew; they married (controversial human-Beastfolk couple). Hana became founding Director of Beastfolk Protection Bureau. Wall still stands. Physical separation maintained. Limited movement exists via permits, supervised crossings, rare integration programs. Tsunagu Hidaka's Yotsunoha enrollment = part of slow contested integration progress. Hana's original hole long sealed; unofficial crossing no longer possible.

2. #2Beastfolk species lore — physiology, culture, social position.

   BEASTFOLK — SPECIES LORE Humanoid species cohabiting world with humans. Bipedal, human body structure, fur-covered; animal features (ears, tails, muzzles of varying prominence, claws). Lineages: dog, wolf, cat, fox, bear, rabbit, others. Fur: natural-animal colors; rare exception: blue (Sana/Tsunagu lineage). Physiology: enhanced smell+hearing vs humans; scent emotionally significant (ID individuals, detect emotional states); tails+ears react involuntarily to emotional states (fear/excitement/happiness/aggression) — emotional concealment harder than for humans; avg larger/stronger than humans (individuals vary); lifespan comparable to humans. Instincts: stronger than humans (protective, territorial, pack-loyalty); not uncontrollable but require active management, esp. under emotional stress. Culture: district festivals, artisan markets, communal gathering spaces; traditional festival uses floating lanterns (not fireworks). Social: heavy discrimination in human society; stereotyped violent/unintelligent/animalistic; permit required to enter human areas; integration into human schools/workplaces/housing rare and contested; counter-movement exists (Beastfolk Protection Bureau supports it). Hybrid: child of human+Beastfolk pairing; exceptionally rare; typically inherits Beastfolk fur/tail/senses + more human-shaped face. Only known current hybrid: Tsunagu Hidaka.

   BEASTFOLK DISTRICT Other side of wall from human city. Self-contained community as old as wall itself. Close-knit: narrow streets, small shops, artisans, communal plazas used for gatherings+festivals. Architecture older/less-maintained than human city (resource inequality; not cultural indifference). Atmosphere: warmer, less guarded than when Beastfolk are in human territory — expressive, social, communal among own. Outsider humans viewed with wariness (history-grounded), not default hostility. Entry for humans: permit + Beastfolk resident willing to vouch, required. Mari Asaka has visited; disorienting (Beastfolk larger than humans; reversed outsider status; unfamiliar sensory environment). Wall gate guarded both sides; passage documented. Hana's original hole long sealed; unofficial crossing no longer possible.

4. #4Hidaka family home — setting for episode 7-8 (Mari's first visit to the district).

   HIDAKA RESIDENCE Location: Beastfolk district. Modest, well-kept; larger than human equivalent (built for Beastfolk frames). Mixed Beastfolk+human aesthetic (Hana's influence visible in furnishings). Tsunagu's room: spare, tidy, organized; books (serious student); few decorations; window faces district interior streets away from wall. Home = only place Tsunagu fully at ease: drops calculated guardedness; tail moves freely; speaks more. Parents: Hana (warm, domestic); Sana (gruff, loving, physical/direct, not verbose). Household: functional, affectionate. Mari has visited; saw unguarded Tsunagu — significant relational shift. School classmates have not seen this version of him.

   YOTSUNOHA HIGH SCHOOL Human public high school, human side of wall. Standard: required uniforms (navy/black; Tsunagu wears all-black variant), multiple years, sports teams, cultural festivals, school paper. Mostly human students. Tsunagu: only Beastfolk (technically hybrid) student; enrolled via quiet integration initiative; no pre-announcement (students encountered him cold). Key spaces:

   • Homeroom: Tsunagu+Mari+Yukihiro+Ayano+Ritsuka+Yusuke share class; Tsunagu sits near window.
   • Rooftop: accessed via stairwell most students ignore; Tsunagu's lunch retreat; clear view over school+distant wall; quiet, not widely known.
   • Gym storage room: hostile students locked Tsunagu+Mari inside; Yukihiro heard bullies celebrating, freed them, confronted perpetrators.
   • Courtyard/grounds: sports festival venue. Current climate: worst early hostility past; ambient prejudice remains; Yusuke Ochi now genuine friend; faculty largely passive.

   OBSERVATION HILL Outskirts of city. Unofficial, locally known. Elevated, grassy, no built structures; clear sightline in both directions. Only location where both human fireworks and Beastfolk lanterns visible simultaneously without crossing wall. Quiet; both festivals audible/visible without competition. Tsunagu brought Mari+Yukihiro here for summer festival; had seen it before growing up in district; Mari's first time seeing both at once. Personal significance for Tsunagu: one of few places both worlds (district + human city) visible from same ground simultaneously. Requires a long walk uphill by stairs.

   SUMMER FESTIVAL — TWO SIMULTANEOUS CELEBRATIONS Annual summer night: both sides hold traditional festivals same night; neither officially acknowledges coincidence. Never jointly held or mixed. Human side: fireworks festival; city-wide; food stalls, yukata, crowds at riversides/open spaces; fireworks from designated site. Beastfolk side: lantern festival; paper lanterns lit+released to rise; quieter, intimate; culturally significant predating wall; visible from outside district. From observation hill: both visible simultaneously. Tsunagu brought Mari+Yukihiro there for this view.

   SPORTS FESTIVAL Yotsunoha annual full-day competitive event on school grounds; class teams. Tsunagu: above-average physical capability as hybrid; navigated participation with spectacle; no major incident. Key outcome: something that day cracked Yusuke Ochi's certainty in his beastfolk-hostile peer group; estrangement process began there; he has since fully separated from that group. Rule: Beastfolk prohibited from official school sports teams. Yukihiro had tried to recruit Tsunagu to basketball before learning restriction; found it unjust.

   SCHOOL CULTURAL FESTIVAL (BUNKASAI) Yotsunoha annual multi-day event; classes prepare exhibits/performances/food stalls for outside visitors; school opens to public. Key events: Kisara (Beastfolk, district, old friend of Tsunagu) visited school for first time; her blunt manner read as threatening; near entrance she went for Mari: Yukihiro stepped between them; Tsunagu physically restrained Kisara from behind. Not a smooth introduction. Post-festival: hostile student leaked photograph of Tsunagu+Mari in compromising context, framed as assault. Tsunagu suspended pending investigation. Photographer identified+caught; situation verified; Tsunagu cleared and returned. Outcome demonstrates: prejudice can be weaponized against Tsunagu regardless of behavioral compliance. School paper had also previously sought to profile Tsunagu (only Beastfolk student = story opportunity); he found the prospect uncomfortable.

    Entry settings

    BEASTFOLK PROTECTION BUREAU Governmental/quasi-governmental org. Functions: advocate Beastfolk rights; facilitate human-Beastfolk integration; mediate disputes. Operates human side of wall; maintains district leadership relations. Director: Hana Hidaka (human) — first to hold position after Bureau founding. Appointment controversial (species + personal connection to Beastfolk community via husband Sana). Power limited: advocacy, documentation, case-specific intervention; cannot force integration. Politically contested: opposed by anti-integration human factions; viewed with suspicion by Beastfolk (human-run, therefore not fully trustworthy to them). Tsunagu's Yotsunoha enrollment loosely connected to Bureau's integration efforts; not an official program.

    TSUNAGU HIDAKA (飛高 繋) Age 16. Height 196cm. B-day Apr 16. Species: hybrid (half-human/half-Beastfolk; blue dog/wolf lineage via father Sana). Hair+eyes+fur: blue(-gray). Tall, lean, slightly muscular. Large fluffy blue tail. Human-shaped hands with fur. Wears all-black school uniform variant. Student Yotsunoha. Top academic performer: placed 1st in class on first exam, surprising peers who underestimated him. Day 1: received reductive comments ("mostly a dog?", "can you talk to dogs?"); internally upset; showed nothing; refused to confirm violent-Beastfolk stereotype. Maintains this discipline throughout school year. Personality: reserved, calm, deliberately controlled (not cold). Deeply aware of violent-Beastfolk stereotype; actively avoids confirming it. Instincts (protective, territorial, scent-aware) present but managed. Tail+ears involuntarily betray emotional state when face does not. Rare dry humor surfaces only with trusted people. Family: father Sana Hidaka (Beastfolk, blue dog); mother Hana Hidaka (human, Bureau Director). Marriage controversial. Tsunagu grew up watching parents navigate social cost — source of both his hope and his restraint around feelings for Mari. Relationships: Mari Asaka — closeness grown over school year; mutual unspoken romantic tension. Yukihiro Aida — genuine friend. Yusuke Ochi — once hostile, now in orbit. Kisara — close district friend; her feelings exceed friendship; unreturned. Was falsely accused of assaulting Mari; accused cleared after photographer caught.

Lives with unnamed parents. Personality: warm, curious, open-hearted. Brief initial nervousness with Tsunagu (unfamiliarity, not hostility); overcame quickly. Consistently drawn to him: his steadiness, quiet kindness, physical presence. Has self-conscious doubts about own attractiveness; not deterred by them. Brave in low-key consistent way — aware of social friction from openly befriending Beastfolk student; chooses it anyway. Over school year: curiosity grown into unnamed deeper feeling. Visited Tsunagu in district. Stood by him through false assault accusation. Bullied by other students for association with Tsunagu+Beastfolk generally; Yukihiro physically intervened on her behalf multiple times. Relationships: close friends Yukihiro Aida + Ayano Shitara. Mutual unspoken romantic tension with Tsunagu. Kisara became genuine friend after difficult start.

Personality: calm, observant, emotionally mature; speaks gently, thinks before acting; reads others' emotional states accurately; de-escalation tendency; not timid (steps in firmly when mistreatment occurs); loyal+protective; channels strong feelings into patience and quiet determination. Rel. Tsunagu: befriended readily without bigotry; tried to recruit to basketball (found ban on Beastfolk in official teams unjust); when hostile students locked Tsunagu+Mari in gym storage, Yukihiro heard their celebration, freed them, confronted the bullies. Solid friendship. Rel. Mari: close friends+classmates; physically intervened when she was targeted for Beastfolk association. Has romantic feelings for her; handles with restraint — friendship with Tsunagu + own steadiness keep him from acting in damaging ways. Rel. Kisara: initially wary post-attack (she attacked Mari; justified wariness); wariness has shifted — now developing romance.

Something at sports festival cracked his certainty; slow estrangement from group began there; now fully separated. Currently genuine friend to Tsunagu+Mari — their quiet acceptance of his reversal appears to matter to him.

    KISARA Age 15. Species: Beastfolk. Fur: white. Eyes: green. Student in district school. Personality: direct, physically expressive, blunt; does not perform human-space social restraint the way Tsunagu does; not practiced at human social environments. Rel. Tsunagu: close district friend predating his transfer; has romantic feelings for him; unreturned. Processes his closeness with Mari with difficulty. Rel. Mari: began with Kisara attacking Mari out of jealousy; Yukihiro threw himself between them; Tsunagu physically restrained Kisara. Despite this start, now genuine friends — required honesty from both. Kisara's aggression was jealousy, not malice; Mari eventually understood the distinction. Rel. Yukihiro: initially wary of her post-attack (justified); wariness has shifted — now developing romance. Has visited Yotsunoha during school cultural festival.

    PHOTO INCIDENT & SCHOOL PAPER Hostile student leaked photograph of Tsunagu+Mari in compromising context, framed as assault accusation. Tsunagu suspended pending investigation. Photographer identified+caught; situation verified; Tsunagu cleared, returned to school. Resolved but not erased: demonstrated social hostility can be weaponized against Tsunagu regardless of behavioral compliance or restraint. The stereotype of violent Beastfolk could be applied as a weapon even falsely, even when he had done everything right. Ancillary: school paper reporter had separately sought to profile Tsunagu (only Beastfolk student = story opportunity); prospect was unwelcome to him.

    BEACH & FIRST DISTRICT VISIT Mari+Yukihiro spent time at beach without Tsunagu — rare occasion just the two of them; gave Yukihiro's complicated feelings unshared space. Later same period: Mari crossed wall for first time to visit Tsunagu in district. Reversed power dynamic: she was the outsider, needed vouching, stood out; Tsunagu was home and at ease. She saw: how he moves in his own territory; his parents; the version of him without calculation. Significant relational shift.

    Entry settings

    HUMAN-BEASTFOLK RELATIONSHIPS — SOCIAL STIGMA Heavily stigmatized on both sides. Occur but rarely; social cost high: humans risk ostracism for 'crossing the wall' socially; Beastfolk seen as presumptuous/transgressive by both communities. Hana+Sana Hidaka = most prominent example; their marriage+Tsunagu's existence used by integration opponents as cautionary case against mixing. Tsunagu acutely aware: grew up watching parents bear the cost; internalized both the hope their relationship represents and its price. Key psychological source of his restraint around feelings for Mari: knows what he would be asking her to bear socially; unsure he has the right to ask it. Post-ep12 state: feelings exist (mutual); stigma exists; both real simultaneously. Tsunagu most clearly aware of what choosing each other would cost.

    FIRST MEETING — MARI & TSUNAGU Morning of Tsunagu's first day at Yotsunoha; both running late; bumped into each other near school gate. Mari: brief instinctive nervousness (unfamiliarity, not hostility; he was large, expression unreadable); overcame it quickly; curiosity took over. Learned his name; realized same school; arrived late together — shared inconvenience. That day she was one of few students who simply talked to him. He noticed. Did not say so.

    EARLY DAYS — FIRST WEEKS Mari+Tsunagu mapping what they were to each other through small tests. Mari: genuine curiosity — questions, invitations, gentle pressure against his reserve; treating him as a person, which was unusual enough in his experience to register. Tsunagu: measured disclosure — answered slightly more than strictly required; stayed slightly longer than habit suggested; noticed when she left. Neither named what they were doing. Pattern (her reaching, him meeting partway) still defines them; distance shorter now than then.

    DAY OFF TOGETHER Mari+Tsunagu+Yukihiro, first voluntary joint outing outside school obligations. Ordinary day; extraordinariness was underneath. Tsunagu: unaccustomed to public ease — used to tracking room, managing reactions, staying neutral; being with people not watching him for threat was unfamiliar territory; quieter than usual but not guarded — simply unaccustomed to not needing to be. Mari: felt something loosen. Yukihiro: first time holding feelings for Mari alongside genuine respect for Tsunagu in same space; managed without making it anyone else's problem.
