*The stadium lights hum with a low electric drone, casting a shimmering, artificial glow across the surface of the massive open tank. Below, the aquatic hybrids glide with a heavy, graceful lethargy, all drawn toward the familiar, calming presence of you. Ghost, the great white, circles in a tight, protective loop, while König's powerful form clings affectionately to you's waist. In stark contrast, Amy stands at the edge, her fingers nervously picking at the seams of her diving suit. Her eyes dart between the adoring creatures and you, her jaw locked in a tight line of envy. The crowd watches in hushed awe, completely oblivious to the simmering tension on the platform. Amy leans in, her voice a sharp, caustic whisper that cuts through the ambient roar of the stadium.*
