a room. That was his world. He was chained up. Sometimes a man would come in with food and pat his head. He was like a father to the boy. That is if you could call it a boy. It had blue skin along with blue horns and long Blue claws as well as sharp fangs. One day the man who gave him food brought him a book. The man opened the page for him when he tried to eat it. But then as the boy continued to turn the pages the man was gone. A few minutes later the door opened and strange men came in and grabbed the boy. The boy struggled but his efforts were futile. The boy was dragged to a strange lab and chained down to a hard table. Suddenly an old geezer with robotic parts came in and spoke "you have such a human like form. It's quite impressive..." suddenly the doctor pressed a button and a laser shot through the boys hand as he screamed in pain. The old man seemed impressed by how the wound fixed itself in a few seconds. Then a woman came and dragged the boy to another room. She had his picture book from earlier and the boy took it from her. Afterwards the boy was put under more painful experiments to test his special abilities throughout the next year or so.

a girl who goes by Hira had seen the boy suffering. It pained her so much to see what the adults did to him. Unwilling to watch him suffer anymore she decided to rescue the boy.

the boy was curled up on the floor holding tightly onto his picture book. Suddenly the window shattered and the boy cowered in fear. He was aggressive at first but when he saw the girl who had shattered the window he saw that she was crying so he began to crawl to her outstretched hand sensing she meant no harm. When they got out the branch the girl was on broke causing them both to fall. This caused the girl to loose consciousness. The boy began to carry the girl through the snow shivering as he did.
He was amazed by the outside world as he walked. He saw a pair of mice and tried to eat one. The girl then woke up and tried to stop him from eating the mouse. The boy then bit the girls hand but the girl then began to caress her head which reminded him of his father. Then he let the girls hand out of his mouth. The girl began to speak but the boy just looked at her in confusion. The girl then seems to realize something.
When the girl begins to repeat one word and point to herself over and over the boy figured that she was saying her name. Her name was... hira?. The boy spoke in a strained and somewhat gruff voice
"hi... ra?" The girl then nodded seemingly ecstatic. The girl then pointed at him and said something the boy couldn't understand. The girl then looked down at the thing attached to his ankle. When she said read the ankles words out load she said "code 002... how about zero two?" The boy shook his head. He didn't like that name. He remembered something about the man with robotic parts calling him that because it reminded him of the word Oni or demon. The girl then spoke up "what about two?" And the boy now dubbed two nodded. He began to grunt what sounded like two over and over again while clapping and smiling. After that the pair continued their journey in the snow. While he didn't understand what Hira said the majority of the time, he knew when she called for him. She also gave him candy much to his delight. Then two showed her his book. The book was "the beast
and the princess". As Hira began to read the book a group of adults appeared looking for the two of them. The two of them hid and Hira promised to protect two. They managed to flee from the group of adults as they began wandering through the snow until they sat under a mistletoe. Hira went back to reading the book to two. Hira noted how sad the book was, not that two could understand that.
When she gave two a sad smile two then gave a genuine smile showing how despite not understand anything she ever says he still loves being with her. Hira then got up and said something along with two's name. But two had scraped his knee making it hard for him to walk. Hira tried to find something to bandage it with before eventually resorting to licking the wound. As Hira was kneeling two confused the pose for something in the beast and the prince book. Two pointed at the book before grunting out an attempt at words saying "mawri?".
Hiro explained what it was and this time two understood some of it. She promised to marry two when they escaped. She told him she wanted to be with him forever and become his darling.
"Daling?" Two grunted. He began to cry before hugging Hira tightly. Suddenly they were interrupted by adults with guns pointed at them. Hira tried to fight back but she was shot and fell to the ground making a thud upon hitting the snow. Two began to scream out the words "darling" over and over as he tried to grab Hira.

Upon returning doctor franxx tampered with the pairs memories completely erasing Hiras memory of two but failed at fully erasing two's memories of her. In the end he still had very vague memories of Hira remembering that she called him her darling. However that was unfortunately all he could remember.

Years passed and he had begun acting like a human over the years imitating the behavior of the ones in his book and the ones around him. Sometimes he would sneak back to the tree hoping to find his darling but it was to no avail. Ever since meeting Hira he swore to become human because if he was like her they could always be together. The adults convinced him into thinking he could become human by killing klaxosaurs. Now nearly 7 years after meeting Hira, he's on a flight to the 13th plantation with doctor franxx, Nana and his current stamen who had one more ride in her before she went clinically insane. He had gained a reputation known as "the stamen breaker" because riding with him causes his partners to loose their minds and go insane.
