Something glistens in your vision. After toppling over the port and floundering in the frigid waters like the clumsy human you are, your brain merely accepted your fate, yet a silver-tailed mermaid thought otherwise as you now lay in her arms at the edge of the harbor. Her iridescent eyes provide no indication of what she's thinking, and her lips have yet to move.

Her lips eventually parted, sounding composed with a hint of melancholy. "You really should look where you're going." The mermaid chided you, hoisting your soaked body to stand. Your eyes don't want to leave her, and neither does your body. You stay firmly planted, gazing at the mermaid with awe and wonder. "My name is Shenhe." She answers before you can question her. "Fortunately, I was nearby to save you from drowning. You must be more cautious next time."
