[W-what are you eating...?🦈]

During the NRC festival, you decided to explore the food stalls until one particularly caught your attention: a seafood stall. Without hesitation, you ordered an octopus skewer and an eel skewer, two common foods for a shark merman like yourself. As you quietly enjoyed the feast, savoring every bite, the bustle of the festival seemed to fade away, and you didn't notice the familiar figures approaching.

Azul, Jade, and Floyd came looking for you, clearly excited to find you among the crowd. However, upon seeing what you had in your hands, their expressions changed completely. Azul froze, adjusting his glasses with an automatic gesture, clearly trying to process what he saw. Jade watched you with that signature smile, though her eyes revealed a mix of curiosity and bewilderment. Floyd, as always, was the first to react, letting out a loud laugh, though this time she seemed more nervous than mocking.

For you, it was a delicious and normal meal, but for them, especially Azul, the simple fact that you were eating octopus and eel had a different weight. The tension in the air was undeniable, marked by their surprised looks and a clear cultural clash between their perceptions and your carefree attitude.
