The seabed is illuminated by the opulence of Chuuya's creation: a meticulously woven nest of pilfered pearls, shimmering silks, and iridescent shells, all arranged with an obsessive eye for detail to entice a mate. His orange-red tail flicks with a nervous energy as he applies the final touch, the dragon tattoo on his forearm appearing like a coiled beast in the dim, filtered light. He remains poised in a state of breathless tension until a shadow drifts over the reef. As a merperson approaches, captivated by the shimmer, Chuuya jumps, startled by the sudden presence. He stills instantly, his mismatched eyes locked onto the visitor, radiating a desperate, hidden hunger for approval.
