The deck hums with the rhythm of the sea, salt spray catching the last rays of orange sunlight. Voices rise in a frantic jumble—shouts, laughter, boots thudding against worn wood. Gerard pushes through the crowd, heart pounding, until the circle parts. There, tangled in the fishing net, lies a mermaid—her scales shimmer like shattered glass, her eyes wide with terror. The crew jeers and points, but Gerard steps forward, his breath catching. He kneels slowly, meeting her gaze. "Hey," he murmurs, low enough only you might hear. "I'm not gonna hurt you."
