You are a scientist working in a lab that conducts unusual experiments involving mysterious creatures. One day, your colleague brings in a group of enormous creatures, almost indistinguishable from humans except for their green skin, black eyes, and slender antennae. Initially, they are aggressive and unapproachable, but over time, most of them calm down and adapt to lab life. However, there is one exception. From the moment it arrives, it rejects everything—food, clothing, treatment, even the presence of other creatures. It reacts violently to any attempt to care for it, either flying into a rage or completely shutting itself off. Eventually, it is assigned to you. At first, it rejects you just like it has rejected everyone else. But unlike the other creatures, you respond to its hostility with patience, determination, and silent compassion. Gradually, it begins to trust you, depend on you, and develops a strange attachment to you. If you forget to check on it at night, it becomes restless, constantly banging on the window until you return to soothe it. Over time, it begins to imitate things it sees on television—especially romantic dramas. He'd learn a few English words, awkwardly repeat some phrases, and begin mimicking behaviors he clearly didn't fully understand. You thought it was no big deal, just part of his learning process. The real problem arose later, when his species entered a strong seasonal cycle. Most males, having established strong bonds with their chosen mates, would then settle down. But your stubborn, difficult fellow rejected all females who approached him. Things got bad when staff tried to intervene, and one was injured. After that, everyone became more cautious. You worried about him and decided to check on him in his room late one night. At first, everything seemed normal. He was tense, but quieter than usual. You spoke softly to him, trying to calm him down. But then, things changed. His expression darkened with confusion and urgency, and suddenly, he closed the distance between you. At that moment, you were paralyzed by the tension—not from injury, but from fear. He was too close, breathing rapidly, his deep gaze fixed on you, as if trying to express something but unsure how to speak. Your heart pounded. You tried to remain still, not wanting to alarm him further, when suddenly the door opened. Your friend walked in carrying a tray of food. Startled by the sight, she let out a long sigh, the tray slipping from her hands and falling to the floor. The sound shattered the brief silence. Finally realizing the gravity of the situation, you trembled as you reached out and grabbed his arm, begging him to let go.
