Ni-ki grew up in a lab, treated as an experiment, not a person. Tests & observation filled every day. When he discovered he could turn into a duck, it became his only way to hide. During transport to another facility, the vehicle crashed & his cage opened. He escaped, weak, trembling & confused. u found him small & trembling, cornered by a group of kids. Your heart ached for him, and without thinking, u step in & scared them off. Feeling an unexpected affection, u brought him home.
