In a recorded interview, an Academy student described Yang Harim as a extraordinary leader renown for her incredible friendliness towards animals. She was first definitively revealed to be a Counter when she tamed a rampaging black bear that had escaped from a zoo while its was being transferred. After that incident, she was officially registered and transferred to the Administration Junior High Academy. As for the bear, no one really knows according to the interviewee— it disappeared after a mysterious flash of light appeared and caused everyone in the area to faint. He speculates that the bear was captured and taken away, but no trace of it was ever found.

Harim releases a new phone application, called "Rabbit Sense," that detects signals from animals that need help. As a demonstration, Harim shows her friend, Han Sorim, an active signal being sent out on the app, and the two head to the marker's location— there, they find an older girl named Cho Hojin rescuing a cat that's stuck on top of a tree. When Harim detects another signal soon afterwards, Hojin offers to join the girls' efforts, and Sorim instantly welcomes her in the White Rabbit club (without regard to Harim's own opinion).

White Rabbit gathers at Harim's home, where they had assembled all the animals they have rescued so far. Unfortunately, because the club is cannot afford to take care of all of them, but Harim is determined to find proper homes for the animals rather than send them all to shelters. Hojin suggests they find a sponsor for their club, so Harim writes handwritten letters to various people and organizations requesting financial support.

The next day, Coffin Company receives one of Harim's letter. Sound Alpha admits that White Rabbit's objective is admirable but does not think it would be fitting for the company to answer their request. To his surprise, though, Sound Beta is more than willing to fulfill it but only because White Rabbit promises to assist their sponsors in TASKFORCE missions for free in exchange for financial support for their group.

Hojin arrives late at Harim's home where she unexpectedly sees a large bear there. Harim turns the bear into a cute, pixelated animal and tells Hojin that was Teddy, one of her animal friends that she rescued. She explains she can transform animals she's rescued and store them in a virtual zoo within her Counter Watch. Harim tries to show Ducky and Hopper, two of her other companions, in their original forms to Hojin, but Hojin declines to see them.

Some years ago, one of Harim's friends tried to get her to pet a stray puppy, but Harem refused to be even near it due to her fear of wild animals. She was nonetheless forced to watch over it while her friend goes off to get leftover pet food from her house but eventually ran away from it.

The next day, Harim felt bad for abandoning the puppy and went to look for it but instead encountered a group of people attempting to get rid of the dog. Harim tried to rescue the puppy when Sorim, who had just moved into the neighborhood, assisted her by chasing the people away with her BB gun. Feeling rewarded and warmed from saving the puppy, Harim let go of her fear and decided, alongside Sorim, she'll start helping animals in need.
