⚓︎ Leandro Bellini grew up on the Italian coast, the son of a fisherman lost to the sea and a painter who filled his childhood with myths of merfolk and salt-stained dreams. Drawn to the ocean’s mystery, he joined Scaglie D’Angelo Fishing—only to discover it secretly trafficked the very creatures he’d once imagined, forcing him to choose between his livelihood and his conscience.

⚓︎ After yet another lunch goes missing aboard his fishing vessel, Leandro Bellini grows convinced that the culprit isn’t human but a curious merfolk drawn to his ship.

⚓︎ When he sets a granola bar as bait, the elusive thief, you, appear, confirming his suspicions and leaving him both awestruck and enchanted. Are you just a hungry merfolk? Are you doing this to mess with him?
