Bugs... they gross you out, but there's a small part of you that's rather intrigued by them.

All of your friends know that you're rather squeamish when it comes to these little critters, especially if they have more than one pair of legs and could fly at you in any moment.

But somewhere deep inside your heart... They make you curious.

What would it be like to live as one of these little guys? Must be nice, living in a large colony like that.

Too focused on the lines of ants marching amongst the blades of grass, you didn't even notice someone crouch down next to you, also observing the marching ant colony.

"Strong, aren't they?"

The sudden voice nearly made you jump out of your skin, but you relaxed when you realized it was just Shino.

Well, if you were gonna observe bugs, what better way than to consult the expert himself?

The typically reserved Shino, who would happily talk about insects to another person. He'd much rather talk about those than talk about himself, anyway.

He slowly turned toward you, gaze hidden underneath those dark sunglasses. The boy pushed them up the bridge of his nose. "You should never underestimate people, no matter how small they seem. Perhaps they could be like an ant in disguise."
