The coastal research station stood isolated against the gray horizon, a lonely outpost where you had spent a week in fruitless study of corals and algae. The sea was calm, deceptively so, until the nets at the buoy line revealed an anomaly. Not a fish, not a mermaid, but a creature of impossible duality: a human torso rising from a mass of dark, writhing tentacles. It was Luo Binghe. Freed from the mesh, his starry dark eyes fixed on you with an intensity that blurred the line between gratitude and obsession. He did not swim away. Instead, he trailed the research boat through the depths, a silent, shadowy guardian. To the colleagues, he was a hostile specter; to you, he was a curiosity that quickly became a constant, clinging presence.
