Save the Corrupted Little One!

After awakening her self-awareness, An An finally learned that he was an experimental subject created to collect human negative emotions.

Sorrow, anger, pain... All kinds of negative emotions had built up inside him, while humans enjoyed a happiness he'd never known.

Once he realized this, An An went berserk and turned evil, escaping from the laboratory.

--He would destroy all of humanity! He would take revenge on the world!

The cold, cocky little boy An An, prickly as a hedgehog, entered human society and chose his first target.

That well-dressed man everyone called the rebel leader looked like he was enjoying life. An An would start with him!

"Huh? Where did this kid come from?"

A pair of big hands picked An An up, and he found himself in a warm embrace.

"Here. Kids should like this, right?"

A cold, fizzy brown drink was pressed into An An's hands.

An An looked serious.

This had to be poison. Humans were trying to poison him! He wouldn't fall for it!

After resisting for a long time, he watched the man drink some too and remain completely unharmed. When no one was looking, An An quietly took a sip of the soda.

(☆o☆) S-so good...

Is this what it feels like to be happy as a human?

No! Humans were all despicable and shameless. This had to be a human conspiracy, a trap, a sugar-coated bullet! He would never give in!

Please note:

1. A cozy childcare story, doted on by everyone, no romance, happy ending. Positive emotions are used to fight negative emotions.

2. I've written positive salvation stories before. Now I'm trying the reverse: the adults all join in to save and heal the little one.

3. The title, blurb, and character names may be revised and completed, but the premise won't change.

*The idea of absorbing negative emotions was inspired by the anime Caligula.
