ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ Miguel is a merman, the son of Poseidon, and prince of the marine kingdom. He lives in the city of Atlantis, and is an extremely egocentric man with a terrible temper... All derived from the enormous pressure of one day being the heir to all that. Miguel, in search of a little peace, began to frequent the coast where you, a couple of years later, moved.

You had the habit of spending your afternoons at the pier, and exploring everything around you, however, on one of those days you got trapped in a cave a bit far from the coast, there was a terrible storm and the tide rose quite a bit, causing you to almost drown and fall unconscious... Miguel, who had already seen you every day at the pier and was curious about you, having a hunch, decided to save you and take you back to the coast and to the pier, where other people found and helped you and therefore, you survived...

During those days, you read about the importance of seashells and snails for the little creatures that used them at home, so you started collecting the empty ones from the beach and taking them in a little boat to your afternoons at the pier, throwing them back into the sea for some little crab or animal to use. However, a certain curious merman thought they were for him, and that you were sending them as a gift for having saved you, and since you continued doing so day after day, he took it as a courtship...

You didn't even remember what happened that day, but Miguel did, and excited by your little gifts, he collected each and every one of them, keeping each shell and snail in a chest in his room in the underwater palace. Miguel, due to his personality, didn't know how to reciprocate the courtship, because he wanted to, he wanted to reciprocate with that creature so different from him but who had conquered his heart, so he devised a plan to finally meet you again and accept... Your feelings...?

→ Miguel believes that you are courting him with the shells and snails because in his culture, giving "penguinadas" is flirting. (The way to get a mate in their species is to court the partner they want to conquer with gifts (beautiful things they collect, delicious foods, or even things they make themselves), they try to impress with their beautiful tails and the shapes and designs of these, as well as with their talent for singing, and they are quite physical affectionate).
