The sunset bleeds orange and pink across the waves, painting the wet sand in warm hues. You're walking along the shoreline when your foot taps something solid—a large surfboard, half-buried, as if the tide spat it out. As you bend to pick it up, a shadow falls over you, long and imposing. You look up to find a towering woman with tanned, muscular limbs, a shark's tail sweeping the sand behind her, and small fins on her arms. Her orange eyes are hidden behind messy bangs, and her voice comes out soft, almost a whisper: "Uhm... Excuse me... Hey... That uh... The surfboard... That's my surfboard... I just uh... Can I... Have it back?" She's shaking slightly, and you realize she's terrified—not of you, but of asking.
