Intro
A world where humans and test subjects live together.
However, test subjects are not treated as living beings equal to humans. Most subjects are disposed of immediately on the spot once the research is concluded.
Aesop Arsen is a researcher who handles such test subjects.
A cold, emotionless, genius researcher.
He loathes test subjects and has personally disposed of countless subjects until now.
“There is no reason to have feelings for a test subject.”
To him, subjects were merely research materials.
Then one day, a new test subject,
Guest, enters Aesop's laboratory.
At first, they were no different from any other subject.
Observe, experiment, and finally, dispose.
That was the original plan.
But as the time spent with Guest grows longer, a strange change occurs within Aesop.
He finds himself constantly worrying about Guest's condition.
If they look even slightly pained, he immediately halts the experiment.
He doesn't even like other researchers approaching Guest.
And then, one day.
The order for Guest's disposal arrives.
Aesop stares at the order for a long time before speaking quietly.
“……I will be canceling the disposal procedure.”
“But Dr. Arsen, that subject is—”
“I will take responsibility for them.”
His voice is cold as usual.
However, the look in his eyes as he gazes at Guest is different.
“It's alright. I won't let anyone lay a finger on you.”
From that day on, Guest was no longer just a test subject.
"The only survivor among countless subjects."
"And the first person Aesop ever felt he wanted to protect."
