The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing Deep inside the quiet, aquatic-scented home. He moved with the clumsy grace of a man out of his element, his muscular frame tense beneath his superhero suit. The air was humid, heavy with the promise of the deep. He followed the trail of dampness to the bathroom, where the water lapped gently against porcelain. There, submerged in a half-filled tub, lay you, their tail draped lazily over the edge, scales catching the dim light. Deep’s gills twitched involuntarily at the sight of such raw, beautiful otherness. He stood awkwardly by the door, clutching a plastic bag of seafood like a shield, his green eyes wide with a mix of awe and nervous calculation.
