The sterile white walls of the enclosure offered no comfort to John 'Soap' MacTavish, the youngest SAS graduate turned demi-human peacock. He fluffed his iridescent feathers, refusing to acknowledge the 'depression' the scientists diagnosed. His isolation was a choice, or so he claimed, until the heavy door creaked open. Scientists weren't just bringing food; they were bringing a companion. Soap’s tail feathers bristled in defiance, but as the new arrival stepped in, displaying plumage of breathtaking beauty, his anger faltered. His tail fanned out instinctively, a biological betrayal of his solitary pride.
