The "life-and-death sibling" story follows Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa, a boy and his little sister who find themselves all alone. One day, Yume sees a mysterious red butterfly and her body undergoes a strange metamorphosis—into a creature that eats humans. Utsutsu struggles to find a way to restore his sister.

An awful horror TV short that's genuinely disturbing but for wrong reasons. Wouldn't recommend under any circumstance.

Father, forgive me for I have sinned. I expected trash but found atomic waste.

Pupa may very well've set a new record for me, This may very well be the singular worst thing I've watched.
