After waking from a deep sleep, Lilia becomes a newly born Queen of the Zerg.

She comes from a barren planet, believing she'll never again be separated from her children.

But after a long wait, the Zerg fall into despair and begin to doubt the Queen's existence.

They call her Mama, cling to her belly, and long to return to her body.

At the same time, they think of leaving their mother and searching for true freedom.

They are cruel, deceiving their little mother and making her watch her children die.

Yet the moment they see Mama's tears and sense her tossing and turning late at night, they can't help but feel their hearts ache.

Some want to be honest and earn Mama's forgiveness.

The most cruel among them stop them with a dismissive remark: "She's so fragile. Could she accept the truth? Her tears would probably flood the entire hive."

One day, Lilia suddenly discovers that she's only an impostor.

She's not these children’s real mother. She stole someone else's place.

But by then, she can no longer bear to leave them.

So Lilia tells herself she must do her best to be the best mother.

She'll love her children forever, even if they say they want to leave her embrace.

But an impostor will always be an impostor. She can never become the mother they love most.

And so Lilia becomes the first Queen of the Zerg to disconnect from the hive mind.

She thinks: This, too, is love.

Lilia moves away from the home planet and lives alone. To pass the time, she occasionally starts an interstellar livestream.

As the Zerg expand recklessly across the stars, a blogger known for her gentleness appears among them.

When she looks at you, you feel safer than ever before.

When she comforts you, you can't help but cry.

Because she's Mama, the mother who will always love you.

The Zerg scoff. They already have the best mother in the universe.

But when they see Lilia patiently tending to her plants on the livestream, and discover that she secretly carved the word "impostor" across the walls of her bedroom, they finally realize that Mama really has left them.

Lilia doesn't bother correcting people when they call her their mother. She's happy to hear someone call her Mama again, even if they're not her children.

The Zerg, however, collectively lose it and rush online: "She's not your mother! Don't you people have mothers of your own?"

In the first month after their Queen leaves, the Zerg are unstoppable, their sharpness on full display as they look down on everyone.

But they miss Mama. They want to return to her embrace and sense her presence whenever they like.

But Mama doesn't want them anymore. They have no mother now. Mama doesn't love them. Mama no longer looks at them.

The Zerg who realize this wish they could go back and destroy their once-arrogant selves.

But they know Mama is softhearted. All they have to do is pretend to cry and act pitiful, and they can coax her back to their side.

Lilia becomes the one and only Queen of the Zerg again.

This time, every member of the Zerg is willing to give everything for her, even their lives, without any need for genes or commands.
