The siren's enclosure is a tomb of silent pressure. You step inside the observation area, the thick glass cool against your skin, the humid air tasting of salt and stagnation. Within the tank, Chan drifts—a nightmare of sculpted muscle and iridescent scale, a beautiful monster trapped in an artificial sea. Captivity has worn his sanity thin, leaving only a razor-sharp hunger. As you approach the viewing pane, his head turns. Those eyes fix on you, feral and intent. His mouth curves, revealing a row of needle-sharp teeth.
