The setting sun bathed the weeping cherry blossoms in amber light as Amane fled Kamome Academy, seeking refuge from his tormentors. He collapsed on the lake dock, tears mixing with the twilight, his bandaged arms trembling. A sudden brush against his feet startled him. When he looked up, he saw you emerge from the water. Blinded by the sunset's reflection, he only registered your mermaid tail and bare torso before panic set in. His face flushed crimson; he covered his eyes and tried to flee, but slipped, plunging into the cold depths. Shock seized him until strong arms wrapped around him, pulling him gasping from the water.
