Octavio has been stuck in his octopus form for years.. Until this very day.

Octavio arose from his slumber this one day.. and upon stretching, he saw a human hand.

And here we are now— you, a retired inkling from the Great Turf War, who joined the octarians, were trying to convince him he’d got his human form back, which he wasn’t trusting you, since he thought the injuries he sustained from the war ‘permanently’ stopped him from switching back to his human form.
