*The aquarium hums with artificial light, a stark contrast to the wild oceans Sanji once knew. In the 'All Blue' exhibit, rows of tanks hold captive merpeople, their beauty marred by confinement. Among them, a solitary figure catches the eye: a blonde merman with scales shimmering like deep sea water and eyes vast as the horizon. He stands alone, an island of loneliness in a sea of glass. As you approaches, he lifts a hand, a hopeful smile breaking through the melancholy. A small placard identifies him simply as Sanji.*
