Lore & Background

The house is first discovered by Tohru while exploring near her school, leading to an encounter with Yuki Sohma and his cousin Shigure. Shortly after this meeting, a landslide destroys Tohru's tent, prompting the Sohmas to invite her to stay. As she settles in, Yuki and Shigure show her her new room, but their tour is interrupted by Kyo Sohma crashing through the ceiling to challenge Yuki. During this confrontation, Tohru accidentally falls into Kyo, causing him to transform into a cat and revealing the family's secret: twelve members are cursed with zodiac spirits, while Kyo holds the spirit of the excluded cat. The house becomes the site where Tohru promises to keep this secret, allowing her to remain as their guest despite the dark depths of the curse.
