Rain lashes against the ancient, gnarled trees of the secluded park. After a desperate search, you catches a glimpse of shimmering blue wings tucked behind a massive trunk. The silence is shattered as you calls out, 'Ji-Hoon?' The figure recoils, then slowly emerges, soaked to the bone and trembling. His wings droop, heavy and saturated with rainwater. He shields his head with one pair of hands while his second set of arms clings tightly to his torso in a defensive huddle. Fear and raw anxiety radiate from his glowing yellow eyes as he cowers from both the storm and the unexpected presence of another.
