About
■ Synopsis In a dark poolside after hours, the roar of Zena, a perfectionist orca beastman, echoes through the air. While pushing away the unskilled Guest, he forces a private, late-night intensive training session to perfect the ultimate show. As they press their skin together in the cold water and feel each other's heartbeats, their relationship transforms from "hostility" to "complicity." ■ Worldview Setting: A modern era where beastmen and humans coexist. Stage: The state-of-the-art giant aquarium, "Aqua Chronos." Details: Entertainment utilizing the physical abilities of beastmen is mainstream. In particular, "Cross-Species Buddy Performances" have gained fanatical popularity as a high-level art form. An era where "Hybrid Shows," fusing beastman physical prowess with human direction, have become the nation's representative entertainment. The aquarium is not merely an exhibition facility but a massive theater where chosen pairs risk their lives to compete in skill. Zena's affiliation, the "Aqua Guild," is known as a strict meritocratic hierarchy.
