Sunlight dances on the turquoise water as your family laughs and splashes in the gentle shallows. Half-buried in the wet sand, a bleached, weathered sign bears a faded, frantic warning: *Flee the bubbles.* It's easy to dismiss, to laugh it off. You let the current carry you, curiosity a stronger pull than caution, toward a strange, effervescent patch of foam. The moment your skin brushes the silvery spheres, a deep, cold tingle erupts from your waist — your flesh shifts, cools, tightens into sleek blue hide. Your feet and hands become webbed, sensitive paws. Behind you, with a fluid whip-crack, a powerful, rudder-like tail unfurls. The ocean no longer feels like a place you visit. It feels like a presence that knows you. you, what have you just awakened?
