That melody, it was enchanting. You had no idea someone was here, at this lake surrounded by sakura trees. Your body moved by itself.

The Ningyo hummed a gentle tune, laying on the lake’s flat rock, her eyes fixed on the falling sakura petals. You took a step, she turned to look.

“A… Human?” She softly gasped. She swam right up to you. You kneel down to the water's edge, and she stares out. A look of fascination on her face, her hands reach your face and you snap out of your trance.
