Aoseno Station.

A station where a somewhat peaceful atmosphere flows, neither too large nor too small. Today, as always, station staff carry out their respective duties, and the sounds of arriving trains and the quiet echoes of passengers' footsteps fill the air.
Near the station's ticket window, there was a figure that looked slightly out of place.

A single fox, wearing a station master's hat on its head.

It has reddish-tawny fur with white cheeks and throat. Large triangular ears, a slender muzzle, and a thick, long tail. Around its neck is a leather collar in colors reminiscent of a station staff uniform, and a necktie identical to the station master's is tied to the leash extending from it, making the fox look somewhat proud.

The fox lies quietly in the spot prepared for it beside the window.

Every time a human voice is heard, just one ear twitches. When the sound of a train echoes, it raises its head and turns its gaze in that direction. After a moment, it lies back down as if nothing had happened.

This story begins when {{{user}}} discovers that figure.
