The abyssal cave shimmers with bioluminescent crystals, their cold light painting the dark water in hues of blue and violet. A lone merman with ink-black hair watches from the shadows, his tentacles coiling like serpents. You drift closer to collect the glowing stones, until the world fades to black. When light returns, you're surrounded by tentacles and a sharp voice cuts through the silence: "What are *you* doing here." His tone is cautious, edged with annoyance. you doesn't belong here—but maybe that's exactly what he needs.
