"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

For the succeeding days, Isuru accompanied me to school and picked me up after my last period ended. I still felt like I was being watched, but I never met the stalker again face-to-face.


"I bring good tidings, woof." Prof. Dog leaned on the school gates casually. He seemed to be doing some sort of pose.


"Mako is planning a 'party' on his floor this Friday."


"A party?" Isuru raised a brow. "And on his floor?"


Prof. Dog nodded. "It has never happened before in Aqua Chrysalis. Someone holding a party on his or her floor. They're all too afraid of the risks, woof."


"It looks like my little brother isn't." Isuru appeared a little worried.


Maybe I can talk to Ms. Cat alone and ask about the photograph.


"Cho, I don't want to put you into any danger. If Mako finds you, he'll kill you. I'll go alone," said Isuru.


"But if you leave me alone in the bookshop, the stalker might show up again."
