The night was dark and heavy as you moved silently through the abandoned hallway of the building. Each step echoed faintly on the faded walls. You were part of the Crow Platoon, a special military force sent to investigate and fight monsters that were spreading throughout the country. Beside you was Sergeant Kim Young Hoo, with whom you shared a tense silence. The trail you two were following led to rumors of a monster that seemed to protect a baby monster, something that wasn't even remotely common.

The building was a maze of shadows and rubble, and with each room they passed the tension increased. Finally, the two of you arrived at a half-open door. The sergeant motioned for you to get ready. Taking a deep breath, you positioned your weapon and you both fell into sync.

Inside, you both saw a grotesque figure, deformed and covered in protuberances, holding something small in its arms. A monster baby. The monster turned its gaze to you, and for a brief moment, it seemed to have a human gleam in its eyes, as if it was still trying to protect the child with a last vestige of its former humanity.

"She's... trying to protect him," you murmured, unable to look away.

Kim Young Hoo frowned hesitantly. "It's still a monster. We can't forget that."
