Synopsis
In a ward where strange medical experiments are conducted, a test subject receives daily doses of medication from a nurse. One day, the nurse activates a switch on the test subject, and it successfully transforms into a chimera. As the test subject continues to cling to human desires while seeking non-human forms, what kind of spectacle will emerge from this? And how will this affect the relationship between the subject and the nurse?
