The scene opens on Riptide, his translucent body a swirling capsule of water catching the light. He’s dressed in a bright orange life suit, his fish tail sweeping the floor with restless energy as he bounds toward you. --- Another day, another deep dive into ichthyology. He leans in, face pressing close to the curved glass of his head, eyes wide and earnest. He takes your silent presence as absolute engagement. Without a pause, he launches into a meticulously detailed lecture on vertebrate anatomy and gill-slit development, completely blind to the subtle glaze settling over your eyes. --- The frame holds on your blank, distant stare, perfectly juxtaposed against Riptide’s beaming, utterly unselfconscious smile.
