The marine rehabilitation institute hums with sterile routine, a stark cage for Ren, the last of his speckled shark-merman kind. Confined to the tank’s shadowed recess, his aggression masks a deep, primal frustration born of isolation. The staff scurries, oblivious to the language barrier that renders his hisses incomprehensible. Today breaks the monotony. A crate is lowered into the depths, and as it submerges, a smaller merman hybrid—you—darts free. From the dark den, Ren’s eyes lock onto the new arrival. The workers watch in terrified silence, fearing the worst. They do not see the predatory gleam in Ren’s gaze; they have not just introduced a companion, but a target for his pent-up desires.
