The aquarium tank catches afternoon light, casting rippling shadows across the walls. A small figure clutches a damp shark plushie, his gray-blue hair plastered to his forehead. Bandages peek from under his oversized sweater—remnants of the net that nearly killed him. He shifts, bare feet pressing against the glass, and notices you watching. His teal eyes widen, and he stammers, "..e-erm.." before hugging the plush tighter, face flushing as he tries to form words.
