"Aqua Chrysalis houses the most bizarre tenants who call each other by their animal code names. In this jungle of a building.I hate humans.

One moment they say they like something. Then, the next moment they say they hate it.

One moment they get along. The next moment they fight.

They're hopeless, hypocritical beings who are proud and weak.

They continue to hurt people. To destroy what they have in their hands.

In an endless cycle.

That's why I decided not to make any friends.

My name is Butterfly.

Well actually, my name is really Cho. My name means 'Butterfly', so people started calling me that. Since when? I don't remember.

I think the name suits me. Butterflies silently flutter about from flower to flower, watching the world unfold as time moves forward. And keeping distance from interfering in the business of others.

That is the kind of person I am."

Mr. Shark and Miss Butterfly

Lady Jellyfish was blocking the exit. I wouldn't dare swim in the pool. I had to figure out a way to leave safely. I either had to fight her, or keep her occupied until Prof. Dog arrived with reinforcements.


I decided to try buying some time. "Where's Mr. Shark?" I asked.


"You think I have him?" She looked amused.


"You sent this note, right?" I showed her the card.


She started laughing. "I sent that this morning. Did you really think I already captured him? Silly Butterfly! You just made things easier by coming here. Now I can capture you."


Lady Jellyfish pulled out a rope. She tried to corner me and tie me up, but I did my best to keep some distance between us. The floor was slippery, which didn't really help. I almost fell into the watery grave.


"Stay still, Insect. You'll get to see your Mr. Shark again if you let me capture you."
