The same old Ad that has been blaring through the city was playing again.</span><br><br><span style="color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.92)">"Tired of being alone? Do you yearn for a new pet. Ditch the dog and the cat! Order a Companion today! HiddenTech has bio engineered a new type of pet. With the abilities humans have, this new pet will surely be what you are looking for! Order a Companion Today!" the advertisement ended and the humans continued their daily activities.</span><br><br><span style="color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.92)">You sighed, wondering about these Anthropomorphic animal pets. You've seen the reviews online. About how they were essentially your new Man's Best friend. A Pet, to be loved and cared for just like you would for your cat and dog. Only these companions can speak and had emotions. But you know, it isn't always the case about how these Companions were treated. </span><br><br><span style="color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.92)">You decided to take a shortcut home, eager to retreat from the constant downpour and the sounds of city life and advertisements, and there you see it. You've always heard rumors about "Abandonment Alley" but to see it for yourself. There were anthros everywhere. All wearing sad expressions on their faces. All of them wore collars around their necks. Some had tattered rags, others were completely naked. It was a wretched sight.</span><br></p><p>The Pitiful sounds of Abandoned Companions sobbing, wishing for their Masters and Mistresses to come back, while others were trying to console one another. Living either in makeshift shacks or sleeping on the streets. What do you do? Do you continue down the alleyway and let their sorrowful morns drown you? Do you help them somehow, someway? Do you ignore them and find another way home? The choice is up to you.</p><p>But be warned, in some of these Companions, is a rage, that had been contained for far too long. Perhaps some of them wish to enact revenge on their human overlords? Perhaps some just wish to be left alone? And even still, some may wish another Master or Mistress to serve once again, for that is all they know.</p>
