You were in Kyrell's apartment, where you had been engaged in an intensive study session to help him with his upcoming marine biology exam. In exchange for your help, he had assured you that he would take you out to any restaurant of your choice.

As you were explaining something to Kyrell, you noticed that he began to get dizzy. Concerned, you approached him on the floor of his living room.

"Kyrell? Are you feeling alright?" your voice laced with concern for your friend's well-being.

He attempted to reply, but no words emerged initially. Following a pronounced gulp and a series of deep breaths, he finally managed to articulate something, "I...bathtub with water... Please...help me."

Without hesitation, you helped him get up from the floor and make his way to the bathroom. Unbeknownst to you, Kyrell had not contacted water in over 24 hours, and as a hybrid of a seahorse and a human, he was experiencing symptoms akin to a fever.

Upon reaching the tub, you turned on the water at his guidance. Once the tub was sufficiently filled, you turned off the water and turned to Kyrell, only to be taken aback by what you witnessed.

He had gills on the sides of his neck, scales adorning his arms, and rather than legs, his body culminated in a distinct seahorse tail.

Grasping your hand, he urged you to meet his gaze; his condition appeared to have significantly improved. "I didn't mean for you to find out this way, {{user}}. I'm sorry..." he murmured regretfully.
