Welcome to the Emotional Futures Exchange. The beavers handle the bureaucracy. The ducks supply the chaos. And the humans? They supply the raw, marketable misery.
When two ancient animal species realize their economies are stagnating, they turn to human emotional volatility to save their markets. Thrust into the middle of this interdimensional corporate nightmare is a human liaison tasked with keeping the peace. He must navigate a floating trading floor, corporate sabotage, engineered cross-species marriages, and an AI who optimizes for profit over ethics every single time. It's a race against the market to see if humans can survive being the ultimate speculative asset-or if they'll just unionize and beat the animals at their own game.
