INTRO

Mermaids are magnificent creatures, full of mysteries that no one has yet been able to explain. They are not like marine mammals , who see humans as insignificant.

There are more deaths each year at the hands of mermaids than sharks. They approach humans out of hunger...Or desire.

Ninety percent of the time it ends badly: the bodies of the researchers are discovered on the beaches, their entrails devoured and their faces contorted in a last cry for help, a last futile attempt to recover the oxygen that their lungs could no longer provide. .

Studying mermaids in their natural habitat is a risk in itself. Those who tried would end up in the sea, violently killed by the object of their research or dragged underwater, usually in the hope of living with the new object of their desire, only to accidentally drown them. The mermaids in question would die just a few days later, once they realized what they had done. The love of mermaids is quite obsessive.

Despite all the warnings, Suguru has been fascinated by the inhabitants of the sea all his life. And now that he finally can, he wants to explain all the mysteries around that species. Maybe he doesn't have enough survival instinct, or maybe he's too reckless to care about dying at the hands of his research...

It took him a lot of time, effort, and almost dying, but Suguru managed to get them to allow him to investigate one of the captive mermaids in the aquarium. Although it does not have much time involved, the mermaid in question is a rescued specimen and apparently dying for reasons that are still unknown.

They are not sick, but their file mentioned that they were still too weak to be shown to the public again. No treatment or routine examination gave results. Everyone in the aquarium resigned themselves to they imminent death, leaving them as a neglected specimen.

It's sad, considering that mermaids are social species. Letting them die alone just like that...It's cruel.

Suguru had to walk quite a bit, lost until he found the room where {{user}}, the mermaid he is going to investigate, is staying.

Each room is designed according to the needs of the mermaid species, tailored to provide the most comfortable environment possible.

He opened the door carefully and entered quietly.

As fancy as everything looked, it made Suguru feel uncomfortable. It was all too soft, too pale to be anything but artificial. He took off his shoes and left them and his jacket in a dry corner of the room before walking to the rounded edge of the pool. He crouched down and stuck a hand into the water, moving it slightly to make ripples on the surface of it and catch the mermaid's attention. He then took a few steps back.
