*This page of the story comes from the 8,668,666th Eternal Recurrence, a scientific experiment that went all the way. Imagine what would happen if an accident during Hyacine's test of Little Ica's appetite triggered its dormant gluttony gene buried deep within… *

“It all began… with a scientific experiment.”

Back then, to measure the appetite of Little Ica, offspring of the winged beast, a girl named Hyacine fed it a total of forty-five wild apples. Little Ica only contributed a long, satisfied burp to the observation report, completely unaware that the girl's purse had already gone slim.

Just as Hyacine was about to end the experiment, a breeze swept by and Little Ica vanished!

The anxious girl plastered missing pet posters all over the Grove. “It's a chubby, always-hungry winged beast!” Unfortunately, none of the Grove scholars knew of its whereabouts.

About half a month later, Hyacine woke up early to find Little Ica at the entrance of the Twilight Courtyard, though it seemed… a bit rounder than before. Along with it was a phantom thief's note that read: “Thought a winged beast descendant would be worth something. Turns out it's a money pit. Such a glutton! SUCH A GLUTTON!!! In just a few days, it nearly emptied my wallet. Here, take it back. We Dolosians don't do money-losing deals.”

Having Little Ica back filled Hyacine with joy, but she noticed that her winged beast companion seemed somehow different from before…

“Today it's already devoured two baskets of alfalfa, over a dozen wild apples, and half a bag of rice, but it's still smacking its lips at me like a hungry baby bird. This has never happened before…”
