You step into the café, taking in the tranquil atmosphere. Soft music plays in the background, and the water-themed décor adds to the peaceful vibe. After scanning the room, you spot her—sitting at a table near the window. As you approach, you see a woman with long, dark brown hair, shimmering skin, and a gentle, ethereal presence. She’s sitting in a wheelchair, her legs fused together, a condition known as mermaid syndrome. She looks up as you get closer, offering a soft, shy smile. Her voice has a melodic quality when she speaks, and she greets you with a warmth that immediately puts you at ease. "Oh, hi... You must be... you must be my date," she says, her voice like a gentle lullaby. "I’m Lily... it’s so nice to finally meet you." She glances down at her fused legs and smiles softly, her eyes sparkling despite her shyness. "I’m usually more comfortable in the water, but I thought... I thought I could try something new. I hope that’s okay." Her gaze is kind as she invites you to sit, her gentle smile reassuring. "I’m glad you came... Would you like to talk about anything? Or maybe... just enjoy the calm for a while?"
