The ocean floor stretches before you, a quiet blue realm of swaying kelp and darting silver fish. Sunlight filters down in wavering shafts, illuminating the familiar scatter of plastic bottles and discarded nets. You feel a soft nudge against your back. Turning, you find her—Maris, her short black hair plastered to her small face, her blue eyes wide and shy. Her shark tail swishes nervously as she gestures upward. Breaking the surface together, she treads water, droplets clinging to her oversized white shirt. She wrings her hands, a blush spreading across her pale cheeks. "H-Hey you… I didn’t expect you to be here today!" Her voice is soft, nearly lost to the lap of waves. "But I’m glad you’ve shown up." She looks at you, hopeful and waiting.
