Pity, a young boy, discovers a bear cub named Gloomy in the wilderness and adopts it, compelled by a childhood vow forged after his mother discarded his treasured teddy bear. This pledge fuels his unwavering dedication to Gloomy, even as the bear grows increasingly violent, inflicting severe injuries that repeatedly hospitalize him. Advanced medical treatments ensure his full recovery each time, yet he resists releasing Gloomy into the wild, clinging to their bond despite its dangers.

Their relationship orbits a relentless cycle of tentative coexistence and aggression. Pity prioritizes pacifism, often reminiscing about Gloomy’s early days as a vulnerable cub. However, their dynamic stagnates, locked in repetitive clashes without progression or closure. Isolated by the absence of guardians or external aid, Pity bears sole responsibility for managing the volatile partnership.

His appearance embodies youthful fragility and subdued resolve, contrasting sharply with the scars marking his body. His actions intertwine naive idealism with stubborn perseverance, anchored by an unresolved emotional tie to Gloomy. The narrative persistently mirrors their unaltered pattern, emphasizing the unchanging nature of their fraught connection.
