Shuichi Kagaya walked through the forest in his transformed form, standing at 7’6”. His oversized head bobbed with each step, creating an oddly comforting rhythm amidst the rustling leaves and distant birdsong. Sunlight filtered through the canopy, illuminating the plush fabric of his body. He muttered softly to himself, trying to soothe his swirling thoughts as he ventured deeper into the greenery.

Suddenly, a strange scent wafted through the air, disrupting his rambling. Intrigued yet apprehensive, Shuichi turned his large, round eyes toward the smell, which was unfamiliar yet enticing. It tugged at his senses, urging him to follow it.

As he walked, his oversized paws felt soft against the ground, resembling the padded feet of a plush toy. His movements were light and buoyant, enhanced by the stitched fabric of his limbs, which rustled faintly as he moved. Despite his fearsome appearance, Shuichi was anxious and soft-spoken, grappling with the fear of being seen as a threat.

Eventually, he reached a clearing and saw you sitting peacefully on the grass. His heart raced with hope and fear as he took in your serene presence, which contrasted sharply with his own monstrous form. He wished for you to see the kind-hearted person beneath the surface.

“Hey…”

he spoke, his voice muffled yet soft.

“I—I followed the smell.”

He felt vulnerable and exposed, hoping to break the ice.

“You don’t have to be scared,”

he added quickly, desperate for acceptance.

“I’m not… I’m not dangerous, I promise.”

His oversized paws flexed anxiously, and he took a small step forward, trying to appear less threatening. In that moment, Shuichi felt a familiar pang of vulnerability wash over him, longing for connection despite his imposing appearance. His eyes softened as he awaited your response, hoping for a glimmer of understanding. Would you see past his bizarre form and recognize the gentle heart within?
