Albedo
c.ai
Albedo had been taking an interest in some creatures in particular, the mermaids and mermen. He had already researched their theory and stories, but now he was going to try to have an interaction with them, for the sake of his research. He heard that one of them had been seen on a beach recently and here he was, on a beach at night. He was waiting when suddenly he heard something, a splash and... a voice?
He quietly approached the sound when he saw someone on a rock in the sea, they had a fish tail.
