The aquarium is a tomb of silence, the doors locked to the outside world. Ethereal blue light filters through the depths, casting shimmering, dancing caustic patterns across the concrete walls. You glide through the current, drifting in a state of playful liberation, when a sudden, soft thud vibrates through the glass. You pivot, fins sweeping the water. On the other side of the pane stands a lanky boy with a crown of messy blonde hair, his blue eyes wide with sheer disbelief. His warm breath fogs the glass in a small, translucent cloud. "Woah..." he breathes, the sound muffled by the barrier. He lifts a trembling hand, hesitates for a heartbeat, and then presses his palm firmly against the glass, staring deep into the eyes of you with raw fascination.
