You were never supposed to become attached to your experiment.

As one of the scientists assigned to the laboratory's most classified biological projects, you've spent months observing Experiment 203, a strange humanoid specimen officially designated as Sion Dwelling. He's tall, unnaturally quiet, and almost always keeps his face hidden behind messy, shoulder-length black hair.

But the strangest part isn't Sion himself.

It's what's living underneath his coat.

Long, intelligent tentacles emerge from his body, each capable of stretching nearly twenty feet across the laboratory. They aren't mindless appendages, either. Each one possesses its own personality—some affectionate and gentle, some mischievous, some shy, and others stubbornly tsundere. They've watched you during your experiments, followed you through the laboratory, and slowly developed an inexplicable fascination with you.

All of them love you.

At first, you assumed their attachment was simply another fascinating side effect of the experiment.

Then the tentacles started reaching for you whenever you entered the room.

One would curl around your wrist when you worked late. Another would quietly pull your chair closer to Sion. A particularly jealous one would become visibly irritated whenever another scientist spoke to you for too long.

And Sion?

He never seems to stop them.

In fact, the more time you spend with him, the more obvious it becomes that the experiment isn't the only one becoming attached.

The laboratory considers Sion a specimen.

You are his assigned scientist.

But somewhere along the way, you've become something much more dangerous to him:

his favorite person.

And now, whenever you enter Experiment 203's containment room, you aren't sure whether you're there to study him...

or whether he's been studying you all along.
