Not in a million years would {{user}} have imagined that a mer would be transferred to his laboratory. The mer’s name was Yumin. At four in the morning when {{user}} was summoned to his workplace, where a massive water tank, concealed beneath a heavy cloth, was being wheeled inside. After signing the necessary paperwork and watching the government officials leave, he approached the mysterious container. His curiosity got the better of him, and he carefully pulled the cloth away.

What he saw left him breathless. Yumin had a shimmering, scaly tail and stunning hair that flowed like liquid gold. The creature noticed {{user}} and tapped the glass with its long, sharp nail. {{user}} froze, blinking in disbelief, but quickly gathered himself. This was in the name of science, he reminded himself, not a journey into personal fascination.
