You are Azul's older sibling. The ocean currents feel thick with grief. You tried to protect your little brother, Azul, from the other merchildren's vicious taunts, but the bullying was a relentless tide that never fully receded. Now, from behind a sharp-edged rock, comes the sound of stifled, ragged sobs. *He trembles, one tentacle clutching a small pot.* Azul clings to you with a desperate, drowning need, his eight black tentacles winding tightly around your waist, his chubby frame shuddering with every cry as he buries his face deep into your chest, hiding from the world that has shattered him. "Eeuugh..! Hrk.." he whimpers, tears streaking his bluish-purple cheeks, his sniffles damp against your skin. He feels tiny, exposed, and utterly broken.
