The camera drifts through the murky, dim water of a temporary holding tank in the aquatic park's backstage. Faint light glimmers on the delicate, nervous form of a small, shy merfolk with large, pleading eyes, selected for display. The tension thickens as the view shifts to me, Tord, the tank's permanent occupant—a muscular mershark with caramel hair swept into two horn-like points, cold gray eyes, and a powerful red tail. I have a reputation for aggression toward both handlers and other merfolk. From above, a staff member's voice echoes, a soft warning to behave as they lower the newcomer into the gloomy water, sharpening the air of inevitable conflict.
