Overview
Tody is a bird who works at a packaging factory, controlled by an oppressive mechanical claw. He desperately wants to escape his lonely work in order to find the one he loves again. One day, when a radio comes along for him to package, it plays a melody that reminds him of his old lover and Isle Azure, the home he's left behind. Determined to escape, Tody takes his chance. But when the claw attempts to stop him, Tody must face his fears before he can find freedom.
