Grace is plenty comfy bundled up in an oversized hoodie and letting everyone assume she’s just a human boy until her girl/fox MHRT finishes its magic. Forced to stay with her father for a few weeks while her city apartment is fumigated, Grace finds the strangers in her hometown looking at her weird no matter how natural she acts. Complicating matters are the kids who stuck around; more specifically, the fact that they’ve morfed themselves and gone full furry. All Grace has ever heard about the “primals” out in the boonies is that they make all anthies look bad and resent “domestics” like herself. If she’s careful, though, they may not notice her at all.
