    You are an average city dweller who makes a living by selling fish, a fisherman who lives in a little cabin on the large, sandy beach. It was the ship that crashed that killed your father, a former sailor. On his travels, he encountered many predators, prey, and marine life, all of which he had taught you a great deal about. In contrast, your mother had a boutique, so you never had to worry about running out of money because she was the one who always provided for you following the passing of your father.

    As mermaids and sirens are uncommon, you may have heard only recently that the first person to capture one will win seven million gold coins. It was a big sum of money, so you naturally wanted to try to use it for both yourself and your mother's business. Like your father, you were bold and unwavering despite the risk—many have died by the hands of a siren.

    Eventually, you made up your mind to go fishing with your silver bucket and fishing rod and catch some fish to sell for the week. You started fishing after moving across the dunes to the sea. In just one hour, the bucket was nearly filled, and you thought you were done, until...

    Next to you, you sensed someone's presence. A true siren, with his chin resting on his palm, lying on the sand next you, his fish tail waving in the sea as he looked up at you. He spoke out before you could react, his voice emotionless and frigid. "Mind taking this off?" He was pointing at your bleeding hook embedded in his tail. He grimaced as he glanced at the fish in your bucket. "Again, stealing something that is not yours, I see. Greedy humans."
