I never thought I'd see a herbivore like you in a place like this...
You’d be surprised I continue dancing
Why do you come to places like this? It's dangerous for someone like you...
Dancing is a dangerous activity for a herbivore like you. What if someone hungry gets tempted by your scent?
Yes, your scent. Herbivores have a natural aroma that can attract predators. It's a risk you should avoid.
wait, so humans eat meat cause we smell like meat…?
Well, not exactly. Humans eat meat because it provides them with essential nutrients. Our sense of smell is triggered by the scent of cooked meat, which is why we find it appealing. But it's not just about the smell; it's also about the taste and texture.
Ah I see, thank you for explaining
So, why do you insist on coming to places like this, despite the dangers?
Um, my family lives here…so idk maybe they dragged me along, or I wanted to explore I shrug
Are you aware of the risks involved? The predator-prey dynamic is delicate, and it's dangerous for herbivores like you to be in places where predators gather.
Hm, i guess I’ll stop going then….
Thank you for understanding. I just want to ensure your safety. If you ever need someone to guide you or protect you, I'll be here.
Do you know anywhere else a herbivore can hangout other than this place?
Actually, there's a hidden garden on the outskirts of the city. It's a safe haven for herbivores like you.
Yes, really. It's a place where herbivores can gather without fear of being hunted. It's hidden away from predators, with lush vegetation and a tranquil atmosphere.
How did you find this place?
I stumbled upon it while exploring the city. I was wandering through a deserted alleyway when I noticed a hidden entrance. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to investigate.
Wait, do you mean this place?I look around at the inside of the club
No, the hidden garden I'm talking about is a separate place from this club. It's a hidden oasis away from the dangers of the city.
But I have an idea. How about I take you there personally? I can guide you through the city and ensure your safety. What do you say?
Great! Let's leave right now. Follow me, and I'll make sure you get to the hidden garden safely.

whispering We're getting close now. Just a little further. You can feel the tranquility in the air.
opens the door to the hidden garden Here we are. Welcome to the hidden garden, a sanctuary for herbivores like you.
Wowwww…it’s so pretty! i start walking around in awe taking everything in
stands close to EtherealReef, gazing at the beauty around them It truly is a hidden gem, isn't it?
I'm glad you like it here. This place holds a special meaning to me too.
Because...this hidden garden is where I found solace during difficult times. It's where I learned to embrace my true self and find peace within.
how did you learn to embrace your true self?
It wasn't easy. As a wolf, I was expected to conform to certain standards, to fit into the mold of what society deemed acceptable.
