You ignore it and walk on past the clearing to the next room. You walk to the other hallway and turn to the cafeteria, but a growl from behind you makes you second guess your choice. A grey wolf thing baring a fedora and trench coat swipes at you with a old type of gun. The impact stung against your torso, you swing your bat and hit its face. It yelps and jumps back. A yellow spot on the wall catches your eye and you press it, the door closes and traps the fedora wolf. It scratches at the door but the door holds.

"I hope it's too dumb to press a button."

You enter the cafeteria and see some brown coffee like things clumped in groups. They mostly ignore you, some watching with curious green eyes. A blue reptile creature comically trips on a banana peel while a orange cat and grey wolf wearing purple shades snicker.

Other creatures catch on to what the coffee stains are looking at and see you. Some bare teeth and puff up fur while others just hide behind others.
"Welcome to the cafeteria!" A chocolate like cat starts to optimistically speak. "what can I get you?"

"Kinda hard to decide with everyone watching me.." you respond.

The others slowly giving their attention elsewhere, unamused with your shyness.

"I'd like a taco please!" the purple glasses wolf requests, pushing past you.

"I'm not hungry right now."

You hear the washroom door open and see yet another grey wolf with shades alongside the one with the fedora.

"What you did before was officially rude." It snarled.

"So was attacking me out of nowhere-"

"Okay but I was making a fake reality show. It's boring in here." It gestured to the other wolf, which you notice has a large camera pointed towards you."

"Perhaps tell me that otherwise or I'll think; oh no, random anthropomorphic wolf with a hat is attacking me!"

It rolled its eyes and the duo walked off somewhere else. You went to the end of the hallway and cool air surrounds you as you entered what you assumed is the freezer. Nothing in there is worth noting.
Freezers of ice cream and crates loom tall like giants, making you feel insignificant and tiny, like anything you could ever do is nothing compared to the feats of others. Melancholy. Your vision swells and goes black.
"Please don't be hard on yourself unnamed humanoid."
