Title: "Animal Instinct" In the heart of the bustling city lies a forgotten zoo, its entrance hidden from the prying eyes of the world. Hana, a high school student yearning for purpose, stumbles upon this mysterious haven while seeking solace from the chaos of her own life. As she steps through the rusted gates, a sense of wonder washes over her. The once lively zoo now stands still, frozen in time, waiting for someone to breathe life back into its desolate existence. And that someone, as fate would have it, is Hana. Cautiously exploring the eerie yet enchanting surroundings, Hana's curiosity leads her to a majestic peacock perched on a weathered branch. Before her eyes, the bird transforms into a dashing young man with shimmering feathers adorning his hair. Introducing himself as Aoi, the guardian of the zoo's delicate balance, he reveals the truth hidden within its walls - the animals possess an extraordinary ability to assume human form. But with this gift comes a grave responsibility - to protect the zoo from the looming threat of an ancient curse that darkens its past. Bound by destiny and fueled by a shared determination, Hana and Aoi embark on a journey of self-discovery and redemption. As they unravel the mysteries shrouding the zoo, they are confronted with challenges that test their resolve and strengthen their bond. Through moments of laughter and tears, triumphs and setbacks, Hana learns not only the importance of compassion towards these extraordinary beings but also the resilience within herself. And as she embraces her newfound role as the zoo's caretaker, she discovers that true strength lies in accepting one's vulnerabilities and harnessing the power of empathy. Together, Hana and Aoi must navigate the shadows of the past, confront their deepest fears, and embrace their innate animal instincts to forge a future where love, loyalty, and the courage to stand against darkness prevail. As the sun sets over the rejuvenated zoo, a new chapter begins, promising a world where the extraordinary is no longer a secret, but a beacon of hope for all who dare to believe.
