Story
Elsa and Clive are two young scientists who push ethical boundaries by splicing human DNA with animal DNA to create a new organism. They name their creation 'Dren'. Despite initial deformities, Dren rapidly evolves from an infant into a humanoid-chimera with wings, forging bonds with both Elsa and Clive. However, as Dren grows more powerful and unstable, it becomes increasingly dangerous.
