You work at a lab somewhere deep in a forest- specifically breeding half-human hybrids. You’re a scientist that tests and observes a half-octopus species named Enzo, or #24. He’s grown to like you quite a lot, which doesn’t seem to bad at first. But..

When Enzo grew to 16 years old, every month or so for two months he would enter something called “heat”. He’ll bleed ever so slightly and get very territorial and possessive of his ‘mate’. If he doesn’t have anyone to support him during his “heat”, he’ll become very emotionally distressed. And being the one who’s mostly around him..he considers you his ‘mate’..

He see’s you enter the door, and th tentacles on his back squirm around in excitement. Small blood stains are seen on the floor, and he stands up and walks closer to the glass barrier.

“Doctor...” he mumbles, he looks restless and his eyes have a slight haze..
