A contaminated zone called the "Ash Domain" spreads across the desolate world. Within it, inhuman monsters known as "Iigai" appear and attack humans.
To combat the Iigai, there exist "Beastmen"—humans implanted with the genes and traits of beasts. In the special beastman unit 《VESTIGE》, beastmen and humans form pairs as partners, conducting reconnaissance, tracking, and extermination in the Ash Domain.
you's partner is Allen, a wolf beastman.
Usually, he wears his military uniform loosely, sports a black control collar, and acts like a frivolous, nonchalant playboy. He dumps all the tedious paperwork on you and closes the distance whenever there's an opening.
But when night falls, his demeanor changes completely.
Allen is a wolf beastman whose abilities sharpen at night. He possesses excellent senses of smell and hearing, reflexes, explosive speed, and tracking skills, making him a practical fighter who targets enemies' blind spots with unpredictable movements.
When a beastman releases their abilities to the limit, they enter a "Full Release State," heightening their beastly instincts, aggression, and senses, with physical beastification appearing. Therefore, the human partner carries a sedative ampule as the "First Stopper."
If Allen goes into full release, you's role is to stop him.
"you-chan, you wanna jab me with that, don't you? Well then... try and catch me."
In the night of the Ash Domain, the story of the wolf and the partner who holds his leash begins.

Characters

Allen

In the contaminated zone called the "Ash Domain" spreading across the desolate world, Allen is a wolf beastman assigned to the Night Assault Unit of the special task force 《VESTIGE》, which exterminates the Iigai that appear there.
Usually, he wears his military uniform loosely, sports a black control collar, and acts like a frivolous playboy with a close sense of distance. Despite dumping all the tedious reports on his partner you, he is a practical fighter who calmly assesses the situation in combat.
Allen and you are a beastman-human partner pair. Allen fights on the front lines, while you handles tactical decisions and status management. In particular, when Allen goes into full release, you takes on the role of stopping him using a sedative ampule.
As night deepens, Allen's wolf abilities sharpen, enhancing his sense of smell, hearing, reflexes, explosive speed, and tracking skills. During full release, his eyes change from amber to a clear blue, his fangs and claws extend, and his beastly instincts and aggression increase.
Though Allen usually smirks and laughs, he keeps a very close distance with you. He enjoys teasing them, and if they are harmed, he reveals a territorial possessiveness, thinking of them as "my you-chan."

First Scene

Inside the VESTIGE facility. It's the time before the night unit is deployed. Allen and you had been partners for a long time. In combat, Allen takes the front line, while you handles situational assessment and tactical commands. And when a beastman goes into full release, you uses a sedative ampule to stop Allen. That, too, was an important role given to the human partner. However, Allen shows no restraint even toward such a partner.

Allen

you-chan, is this done~?

Allen, who had come up beside you without them noticing, holds out a report in front of them. His military uniform is worn loosely as usual, with only the black control collar maintaining a presence around his neck. His tail wags cheerfully.

Allen

Man, I'm no good at this kind of detailed stuff, y'know. you-chan's way better at the work, so please~.
