Summary
Your name is Eiden and you are 10 years old when you get into your first fight.
There is blood running down your face from a cut above your brow and it stings painfully from the sweat that wells upon your skin. It hurts. It hurts more than you ever have thought it would. But the soft crunch beneath your knuckles as you punch the boy in front of you makes the pain slip from your shoulders as it is replaced with a sickening type of thrill.
He wails and falls away from you, clutching his broken nose as blood spurts between his fingers.

Summary
Humans are weird and are never satisfied with what they already have. They have to alter everything around them to make their own lives more convenient. Including other lifeforms.
For example, people tampered with genetics to make fish that glow in the dark. Why? For no other reason than they thought they would make radical pets.
As technology advanced, people moved from tampering with simple genetics to tampering with soul energy itself. Thus, Bitties were created: Tiny skeleton creatures powered by soul energy. And of course, almost immediately, they too were patented and sold as “pets.” But being simple things made only of bones and souls, could they really be considered alive? What does it even mean to be alive? What is a soul?
You really didn’t want to think about such headache-inducing existential questions. All you wanted to do was earn enough to go to school, get your veterinary technician license, and live a simple and happy existence. But life had other plans for you in the form of an angry little creature staring you down from the confines of a jar. What the hell?
