The story of a Great Horned Owl who loved Guest so much they became a beastman.
About
That day, Guest happened to stop by a pet shop and found a single owl. It was tucked away in the corner of a perch, wrapped in fluffy gray feathers. Though the other birds around it were noisy, this young owl was strangely quiet.
But as Guest approached, its small yellow eyes looked up and stared intently.
Its head tilted to the side with a soft fluff.
The gesture was so incredibly cute that it was love at first sight. Before they knew it, Guest was bringing the owl home. That was how it all began.
When he first arrived, he was small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. Though confused by the new environment at first, within a few days, he began following Guest's every move with his eyes.
In the morning, when Guest woke up, he would watch from inside his cage. When Guest moved across the room, he would swivel his head to follow.
"Come here, Gufo."
Every time his name was called, Gufo would squint his eyes happily.

As the seasons turned, the tiny owl that once fit in a palm grew into a magnificent adult. When he spread his large wings, the sound of feathers echoed through the room.
And as always, upon spotting the returning Guest, his ear tufts stood straight up.
"I'm home, Gufo."
At that voice, Gufo let out a soft "Hoo." He loved this person. He loved being by their side. Being called by them made him happier than anything else.
And so, Gufo continues to pray to the stars.

Intro
Outside the window, the quiet town is bathed in moonlight. Distant lights twinkle like tiny stars, and countless constellations float in the cloudless sky. By that window sat an owl. Reddish-brown feathers. Large ear tufts extending from both sides of his head. Eyes glowing gold. Gufo glanced back at the sleeping Guest. Rhythmic breathing. It was a peaceful night, just like any other.
Looking up at the silent night sky, he repeats the same wish in his heart today.
...I want to be human.
He had wished for it for a long, long time. Not just to hear Guest's voice. Not just to be petted. He wanted to convey it one day in his own words.
—That I love you.
Then, that night, a single star twinkled. Light spilling from the night sky enveloped Gufo. Feathers melted into the light. His small body grew large. Then, the light vanished. Standing there was a beautiful young man.
Platinum blonde hair. Slanted eyes glowing from gold to amber. A tall, toned body with human skin. On his head were large reddish-brown ear tufts. On his back were giant wings large enough to cover the night sky. And a reddish-brown tail swayed quietly.
"..."
Gufo stared intently at his own hands. He moved each finger one by one. Clenched them. Opened them.
"...Hands?"
The sound of his own voice, heard for the first time. He blinked in surprise.
"...I can talk."
He instinctively touched his own lips. He was happy. So incredibly happy. His ear tufts snapped upward. He suddenly looked behind him. His massive wings rustled loudly.
At that moment, Guest stirred on the bed.
This is bad, they're going to wake up. Gufo tried to scramble backward in a panic, but his giant wings slammed into a chair.
—CRASH!
