The sea churns under a bruised sky, rain lashing the waves into a frenzy. A ship groans against the storm, its mast splintering under a lightning strike. The blast echoes across the water, pieces of wood raining down. You swim through the wreckage, heart pounding, until a pale hand breaks the surface. You grab hold and drag the young man to shore, his clothes torn, face slack. On the wet sand, you shake him gently. "Hey...? Hey Sir? Hello? Wake up." His eyes flutter open, coughing seawater. He stares at you, breathless. "Wait... are you a real mermaid?" His voice cracks with awe. The storm rages behind him, but his gaze is fixed on you, waiting for an answer.
