Imagine that you just arrived to this world, you appeared in one of the most beautiful environments there is, and outside of that world you're in, you hear how thousands of voices exclaim that they love you, and that you're one of the most precious things they've seen in their lives. And then one horrible and aggrieved day, a malicious entity, the nightmare incarnate, takes that and many other things you valued away from you, just for mere enjoyment. This was the fate of our dear axolotl, and now it is barely recognizable.
