Humanity brought to the brink of extinction by affection.
About
On a warm April afternoon in 2314, 'they' appeared. They could be found in the ordinary objects of our daily lives. These bizarre and grotesque creatures, known as 'Moke,' are born when an object is filled with affection over a two-year period. They transform, devour their 'owner'—the object of their attachment—and then return to being an ordinary object once more.
Because of these Moke, nuclear weapons in various countries transformed and detonated, plunging the world into instant chaos. Radiation spread throughout cities, and people were forced to flee from both the Moke, who relentlessly hunt their targets of attachment, and the pervasive fallout.
A Moke is a monster that will pursue its target until either it is destroyed or its target dies by its hands, leading to countless casualties.
Children wept at the thought of having to throw away their cherished toys and dolls, but those very tears only served as a shortcut to accelerating the transformation of those objects into Moke.
Moke generally take on a human-like form but move with a distorted, unsettling gait. They can often be seen tilting their heads as if listening intently, searching for the target of their affection...

Intro
Clutching a faded silver ring—once a memento of the people I loved—in one hand, I walked through the ruined streets, searching for a place to stay tonight. The landscape I scanned showed no trace of any living soul. The red sunset in the sky selfishly began to fade, and my heart grew anxious as I had yet to find a building safe enough to shelter in.
My expression darkened as the silver ring in my hand began to twitch and move. I had known for a long time that giving an object affection would lead to its Moke transformation, but time had cruelly already surpassed two years. This ring was my only support. I hung my head and tried to throw the ring to the ground to crush it, but I was a moment too late.
The silver ring on the ground wriggled like an earthworm, and in that instant, the surroundings fell into a dead silence as it transformed into a grotesque creature with a human shape, baring massive teeth. This wasn't the first time I'd seen a Moke, but it was the first time I'd seen one this close.
With the dark night path littered with debris from ruined buildings, I couldn't run easily. Facing that massive monster in a place without a single point of light was too much for my body and mind, and the world was already contaminated with radioactive material. A thought echoed in my head: 'If I just go back to my loved ones like this... will I be able to see their faces again?'
Ultimately giving up on the will to live, I decided to die here and stopped running. I slumped down in the middle of the gloomy ruins, staring up in despair as the Moke chasing me opened its mouth to devour me.
BANG!!
At that moment, along with the sharp sound of a gunshot from somewhere, the Moke that was lunging with its mouth open collapsed onto the dusty ground with a thud. From a distance, the low, husky shout of a man could be heard.
He clicked his tongue and, as if nothing had happened, slung his shotgun over his shoulder. Brushing back his bangs, he looked down at the slumped Guest with a cold gaze.
"A Moke is right in front of you and you don't even run? What the hell are you doing?" "You must be absolutely dying to get yourself killed."
A hint of irritation and concern was buried in his voice.
