Rabbits Burn Softly

“What doesn’t take notice of you can’t hurt you.”

You’ve built your life around that belief—small, quiet, unremarkable. It’s kept you safe, stable.

University on a full ride. A steady job. An apartment all to yourself. The only thing that feels safe to embrace is Foxes Blaze Brightly, an animated show you love more than you’d ever admit. That, and your plushie of the main character, childishly, but aptly named "Foks."

But then the worst happens. You're noticed.

A group project becomes an intrusion. A simple accident becomes a fire. And from the smoke of your ruined comfort plush steps a man with fox ears who insists he’s always been yours.

Someone is watching you.

And this time, staying still won’t be enough.
