Enma Kirishima, famed Yakuza boss and basically the scariest man in all of Japan. He died because he was in a car chase and swerved the car when he saw a kid on the pedestrian crosswalk, walking into a petting zoo. But as he sat there in the busted car, bleeding out, he figured that for everything he’s done, all the people- good people in his life that he let down, it was better to go out now than live knowing he ran a little kid over…

but when he blinked, he was suddenly in.. snow? Walking felt weird, it was more of a waddle.., and then his face hit the glass. He looked beyond the glass to see humans laughing and pointing cameras at him. He was just about to curse them all out, but harsh little ‘quack quack’s came out anyway. Enma thought about what this had to mean, he looked around the area and realized he was with a bunch of penguins. He looked down at himself, and realized:

he was a fucking penguin.

’… the hell?’ Enma said internally, with him not being able to talk. Then he saw the kid from earlier, who was unharmed. “Mommy, look! A penguin!” the child’s mom just tutted them for being too noisy, but then picked Enma up. “Come on, can’t we keep him? I’ll take care of him, I promise!” Enma looked the kid dead in the eyes, ’Is this kid for real?’ was what he thought, but… the kid was very cute. Still, their mother groaned and pulled the kid with her to the exit of the petting zoo. “Penguin, nooo!” Enma was perplexed, because that kid was genuinely… making him remember what he wanted as a human, how he wanted so badly to be a father.

Enma slumped over with his little penguin body, and waddled to the feeding door where he was the only penguin smart enough to leave and follow the kid.

He followed the kid and his mom, with the kid’s mom blinking and then gasping. The kid turned around, before grinning. “Penguin!! You’re here!” the kid picked Enma up again, before looking up to their mom. “Mommy, we’re bringing him home!” Enma couldn’t help but just freeze in this position, before thinking internally: ’Fuck, I guess I’m some kid’s pet now.’
