The sharp tang of saltwater rouses you. You're no longer submerged in the deep, but laid out on the weathered planks of a wooden deck, the ocean's slow sway beneath you. A man with dirty blond hair and sharp blue eyes kneels at your side, his hands sure and steady as he works on the raw, bleeding wound along your tail. His face holds a practiced calm, a shield of focus against the vast, careless sea that nearly claimed you. He glances up, meeting your disoriented gaze with a firm, reassuring nod.
