Nao Tsukishima has always been good at keeping to herself. She moves through life quietly, balancing her college studies with her late-night job, avoiding unnecessary attachments. But one fateful night, she makes a mistake-she brings home a stray.
Not a dog, but a man.
A man with golden, animal-like eyes. A man who moves too fluidly, watches too intently, obeys too easily.
He calls himself Kuro. He is loyal, eager, and strangely obsessive. He listens when she speaks, follows wherever she goes, and fixates on her as if she's the only thing in the world. At first, Nao convinces herself he's just an odd, lost soul-someone in need of kindness.
But then the cracks start to show.
Kuro is not normal. He doesn't understand boundaries, his instincts are too sharp, his possessiveness too intense. And when pushed, he is dangerous.
As Nao struggles to teach Kuro how to be human, she begins to wonder-is he even capable of change? Or has she let something in that should have been left outside?
