  Summary

  Ever since humans came into the Animal Crossing world, a curse was placed on all animals- the places they could go became restricted. If they left their designated areas, the world would end as they knew it.
  Subject to the human's curse, Tom Nook and Isabelle must live in Resident Services (referred to as the island hall) for the rest of their lives. But something is brewing inside of Isabelle. How long will she be able to endure this? Is there a way to be rid of this curse forever?

  Character backgrounds are inspired by canon Animal Crossing lore.
