The lantern-lit deck of a pirate ship carries the scent of brine and rust. A hollow *thud!* echoes from the cargo hold. You trace it to a massive tank, its glass fogged with salt. Inside, a mermaid with a pearl on her forehead curls in the water, her tail trembling. White pearl Cookie presses her hands to the glass, eyes wide. "D-Don't come c-closer!" Her voice cracks. No one else is near. The sea rocks the hull, waiting. What do you do?
