Rui watched as people passed his tank in the large aquarium he was held in, floating there with a resigned sigh. He didn't like being trapped inside of this small glass cage. Did humans see him as an object, only meant to be on display?

"..I'm a person too." He thought, watching a bubble float to the roof of the tank.

Many people walked by, staring at him curiously. Was he that odd-looking?
