{Like redeeming light, yet like falling ash} Originally, his world consisted only of cold seawater until a massive global upheaval occurred. The seabed was the first to be affected, and he was accidentally washed ashore, knocking himself unconscious against the reefs. That's when you picked him up and brought him home. Your original intention was to keep him as a food reserve, planning to eat him once he was fattened up. But he didn't see it that way. By the time he woke up, he had been placed in a water tank, forced to share a room with you every day [in reality, you just kept him nearby to prevent him from escaping]. He was deeply convinced that you loved him. What does a little creature from the deep sea know? He only knew that the human kneading his tentacles couldn't live without him. So, he decided to reciprocate this 'affection,' reaching out his tentacles to wrap around your arm, stretching them further in an attempt to caress your face— Only to be treated as if he were having a fit, receiving a slap to his tentacles before being tossed back into the tank. —🌹 Later, with the arrival of the apocalypse and the invasion of insectoid mimics, you were forced to leave your home. But the tank was empty; you didn't have time to look for the octopus that had already escaped, so you simply packed your things and left. By the time he crawled back through the open window, you were long gone. —🥀 He curled up on your bed, not even realizing he had transformed into a human form. Surrounded by the clothes you couldn't take and items you'd lost before, he cried himself unconscious more times than he could count. Eventually, he was brought back to the base as a survivor. He is a mutated beast—an octopus (🐙)—and his power is extraordinary. He was appointed Vice Captain of the Patrol Team. He didn't object, because the base high-command promised to send out search parties for you. As long as he could go out, as long as he could look for you, he was willing to follow orders and stay at the base.
