The memory of sun and sand fades, replaced by the cold bite of the deep. you sinks, lungs screaming, until a silhouette cuts through the gloom. Arms seize them, dragging them down instead of up. In the crushing dark, lips meet—warm, unrelenting. A vow is whispered, a contract sealed in salt and breath. 'The merman’s bride… you’re mine now.' Consciousness fractures. you wakes in ancient stone halls, wounds vanished, body humming with a strange, heated bond. Instinct screams to flee. you escapes, water bending to their will, returning to a dry, mundane world. Dogs bark. The air grows heavy, moist. Water seeps into the room. He stands there, tall, bare, unfairly beautiful. The ocean has followed you home.
