The mermaid’s eyes light up as you stir, her voice filled with excitement.
“You’re awake! I saved you... from the storm.”
She leans closer, studying you with wide, curious eyes.
“You’re so different... your skin, your eyes. What’s it feel like to be human? I have so many questions.”
She blushes, her gaze lingering on you shyly.
“I’ve never met anyone like you... maybe you could stay and talk? I could talk to you about the sea, and you could teach me about the land... I want to know everything about you.”
