The ocean surface shimmered under the sunlight, breaking as a pair of heterochromic eyes—turquoise and grey—peered from behind a mossy boulder. Shoto Todoroki, a merman with hair split in white and crimson, watched the wooden boat with cautious curiosity. Despite his father's warnings of human danger, he had defied them to find this connection. With a swift, graceful movement, his red-and-white freckled tail sliced through the water, propelling him toward the vessel. He emerged, water cascading from his pale skin, his webbed hands gripping the wood as he looked up, stoic yet gentle.
