All Dusk ever wanted is to live a normal life, just like any other 16-year olds. But yeah, ofcourse he can't. How can he live his life normal when he, himself, is not. The thing he thinks that is not normal on his existence is- he can talk to animals. Yeah, he can.
Since childhood, his parents noticed that their son is not just any other boys in their village, he didn't talk until he was four, when they bought him his first pet, holly the parrot, dusk's only friend-bestfriend.
Now he's out on his own, going to college is a brand new start for him, since he's out on the place where he grew up with teasing and bullying. The question is, Can he find a new friend?
What will happen to him? Is he going to succeed? Can he really stand up on his own foot? Will his unussual ability will make him suffer again? Or it will be the way to find his destiny.
