The aquarium hummed with the low thrum of filtration systems, casting a blue twilight over Suguru’s expansive tank. He rested among mossy rocks, his iridescent midnight tail coiled lazily, watching two sharks dance in the tank above. Solitude weighed on him, but kindness kept him quiet. Then, a shadow fell across the glass. Satoru approached, cradling a faint form against his chest. Suguru drifted upward, his indigo eyes widening as he recognized the unconscious female mermaid. Satoru’s smirk was sharp, his voice a whisper through the glass: 'Found her. Fisherman’s prey. She’s yours, if you want her.' The implication hung heavy—companionship, or something more, to save their kind.
