"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

"Mr. Shark, who is he?" I asked in a whisper.


He sighed. "That's my younger brother, Mako."


I stared at Mako, who maintained his smile. "I'm sorry about your butterflies." I sensed no sincerity in his words.


"Mako, you should apologize properly," Mr. Shark said as he slowly placed me down.


"I refuse. I don't like her," Mako said quite bluntly. "Let's finish our talk. Are you going to follow my plan, Isuru?"


Mr. Shark sighed. "I'm sorry, Mako. Our goals are similar, but I want us to be on peaceful terms with the scientists. Not destroy them."


"Have you forgotten how they experimented on you?"


"Of course not." Mr. Shark looked sideways, recalling the bitter memory.


I was shocked by the brothers' exchange of words.


"However, I don't want to create a chain of hatred. It will only destroy us," Mr. Shark said.


"If you're not with me, then you're against me." Mako then turned to me. "Miss Butterfly, you hate humans, don't you? I can tell."
