On Bonding Day, no one chooses him. That same night, Raf appears.

Nilo works at The Open Barn, a refuge for injured, elderly and abandoned wildhearts. He understands animals better than people and dreams of one day taking part in the Wild Trials, just like his older brother Eren.

But when Bonding Day arrives, exactly what Nilo feared comes true: while new bonds form all around him, not a single wildheart chooses him.

That same evening, he discovers a strange dark creature inside the storehouse. It steals food, bites him on the thumb and tries to free another wildheart from its enclosure.

Then a stranger arrives at the refuge.

He is looking for the creature.

And he wants it back.

Nilo gives the animal a clear way out. It leaves.

Then it chooses to return.

When an unusual bond forms between them, Nilo discovers a damaged notice carrying three warnings:

DO NOT APPROACH WITHOUT PROTECTION.
nRETURN ALIVE.
nDO NOT ALLOW DIRECT CONTACT.

Why is Raf being hunted? And why does their bond seem different from all the others?
