"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

Days passed. Kiel never brought up the topic of marriage since then. I was slightly relieved.


I still thought about Isuru and wondered how he was doing. As each day passed, it felt as if he was drifting further away.


People come and go. I knew that was a fact, but there were just some people we all wish we could keep forever. That maybe they would exert some effort to remain at our side. I think everyone deserves at least one person like that.


Kiel, Ms. Cat, and I stepped out of the car. We were standing in front of a large mansion, even larger than Kiel's house. 


Guests in evening gowns and fancy suits walked past us. I was in a blue gown, but my petite body only made me look like a kid trying to appear grownup.


Kiel passed white masks to Ms. Cat and I before we entered the building. 


"This is my first time attending a masquerade party," said Ms. Cat as she placed on her mask.


"The mayor sure likes to throw lavish parties," remarked Kiel.
