"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

"Those weird, colorful clothes..." Mr. Shark narrowed his eyes.


"There's no way she's the culprit. She can't fit through the passageway. Even without her puffy dress." Mr. Shark turned to Prof. Dog. "Quick! Get the pack to go back to their formation. They have the wrong person!"


Prof. Dog was still sad. "My circle... My special ellipse of 0 eccentricity and two coincident foci...!!"


"Dog, hurry! Before the real culprit escapes!" Mr. Shark shook the math professor.


From the corner of my eye, I saw a boy exit through one of the building's windows.


He had black hair and appeared to be twelve or thirteen years of age. I couldn't catch up to him. He was too fast. Not once did he look back, so I couldn't catch a glimpse of his face.


Suddenly, I remembered that day when we visited Ms. Cat's apartment. He was the one I noticed before going inside the elevator in Aqua Chrysalis.
