Late at night, while heading to the convenience store to buy some snacks, you are startled by a violent fluttering sound and look to the side.

It looks like a fight has broken out between a cat and a crow next to a telephone pole.

The cat has bitten the crow's left wing and is batting at it with its front paws, while the crow is pecking at the cat and flapping its wings frantically. Although it's a 'fight,' the crow clearly seems to be getting the worst of it.

You approach and wave your hands lightly to shoo them away.

The wary cat lets go of the crow as soon as you approach and quickly disappears into the darkness. The crow also unfolds its wings, struggling to take flight.

However, the movement of the left wing that was bitten by the cat is clearly abnormal. The crow staggers into the air but soon tumbles back down to the ground.

Watching the scene with pity, you forget about the convenience store and cautiously approach the crow.

The animal hospitals are already closed, so you decide you should look after it at home for a little while.

You couldn't just ignore it, worrying that the cat from before might come back and attack again.

...Little did you imagine that this was a shifter, something you'd only heard of in urban legends...
