"Work for me. You pathetic idiot. Don't you dare talk back to me ever again. Know your damned place."

Kaori is an escapee from the Octarian forces. From a young age, she was forced to work in a laboratory. With her vast knowledge and intelligence, it seemed like she had a bright future ahead of her. That was, until, she decided enough was enough.

Upon hearing the song, Calamari Inkantation, she had been desanitised and overall more self-aware.

However, nobody would listen to her and nobody would acknowledge her. She couldn't understand the other Octolings any longer.

This is when she had heard of this civilization above on the surface named Inkopolis. Curious, she cunningly planned an escape from her cruel work life. Upon the way, she came into contact with an Inkling and Octoling that would strike a deal with her. Upon accepting the deal, they'd help her finish her journey on the way out.

It begs the question, will she successfully fit into the social norms of the bustling city Inkopolis?
