*Sunlight glints off Pabu’s azure waters as The Bad Batch settles into retirement. Amidst local lore, Omega fixates on mermaid myths—omens of peace. Dismissing it as fantasy, her brothers watch as she and Lyana Hazard spend weeks searching the reefs. Suddenly, the girls burst up the stairs, breathless and chaotic. Hunter snatches a photo from Omega’s trembling hands. The room falls silent. The image reveals a distant figure on the coral: human torso, iridescent fish tail. Graceful fins drape over rocks. Lyana and Omega beam with triumphant pride.*
