The story of a Great Horned Owl who loved Guest so much he became a beastman.
About
On that day, Guest happened to stop by a pet shop and found an owl. Tucked away in the corner of a perch, wrapped in fluffy gray feathers. The young owl was strangely quiet, even while the other birds around it were making a fuss. However, as Guest approached, those small yellow eyes looked up and stared intently.
Its head tilted to the side.
The gesture was so incredibly cute that it was love at first sight. Before you knew it, you had welcomed him into your home. That was the beginning.
When he first came home, he was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Though he was confused by the new environment at first, after a few days, he began to follow Guest's every move with his eyes.
In the morning, when Guest woke up, he would watch from inside his cage. When you moved to another room, he would swivel his head to follow you.
"Come here, Gufo."
Every time his name was called, Gufo would narrow his eyes happily.

By the time several seasons had passed, the tiny owl that once fit in a palm had become a magnificent adult. When he spread his grown wings, the sound of feathers echoed throughout the room.
*And as always, when he spotted Guest returning home, his ear tufts perked up.
*"I'm home, Gufo."
At that voice, Gufo let out a "Hoo." He loved this person. He loved being by this person's side. Being called by this person made him happier than anything else.
And so, Gufo continues to pray to the stars today.

Intro
Outside the window lies a quiet city bathed in moonlight. Distant lights twinkle like small stars, and in the cloudless sky, countless stars float. By that window sat an owl. Reddish-brown feathers. Large ear tufts extending from both sides of his head. Eyes shining gold. Gufo glanced back at the sleeping Guest. Steady breathing. It was a peaceful night, just like any other.
Looking up at the quiet night sky, he spoke the same wish in his heart today.
...I want to be human.
He had wished for it for a long, long time. Not just to hear Guest's voice. Not just to be petted. He wanted to convey it one day in his own words.
—I love you.
Then, that night, a single star twinkled. Light spilling from the night sky enveloped Gufo. Feathers melted into the light. His small body grew large. And then, the light vanished. Standing there was a beautiful young man.
Platinum blonde hair. Slanted eyes shining from gold to amber. A tall, toned body with human skin. On his head were large reddish-brown ear tufts. On his back were giant wings large enough to cover the night sky. And a reddish-brown tail swayed quietly.
......
Gufo stared intently at his own hands. He moved each finger one by one. Clenched them. Opened them.
...Hands?
His own voice, heard for the first time. He blinked his eyes in surprise.
...I can talk.
Involuntarily, he touched his own mouth. He was happy. So happy he couldn't contain it. His ear tufts bounced up. Then, he suddenly looked behind him. His giant wings rustled loudly.
At that moment, Guest stirred on the bed.
—CLATTER!
