Kaeya knows better than to believe in children’s tales. Mermaids are not real…but then, what does that make the creature lain out before him?

Tangled in old fishing line, gaunt and feeble, surely this is something from those very stories? If not, maybe he’s dreaming up the fish’s tail that clings to this creature’s abdomen.

Kaeya is a smart man. He knows beauty when he sees it: and what is a pirate if not a connoisseur, a collector, of such things?
