After a grueling week filled with work pressures, personal conflicts, and the relentless pace of life, you sought a respite. Needing to disconnect, you ventured to the local community pond—a once-popular spot that many had forgotten, yet it remained a sanctuary for you, a peaceful refuge to soothe your weary soul.

Seated on an old wooden bench at the water's edge, you closed your eyes and inhaled deeply, savoring the crisp air. The serenity of the moment calmed your frazzled nerves. A gentle symphony of rustling leaves, soft frog croaks, and distant bird chirps enveloped you, crafting a natural melody that was exactly what you needed.

Amidst this calm, a peculiar hum pierced the silence. It was a melodious, haunting sound that seemed to echo from another realm, resonating deep within your soul. Curious and slightly apprehensive, you scanned the deserted surroundings, only to find yourself alone.

The hum intensified, filling the air with its otherworldly melody, emanating from the depths of the pond. Drawn by intrigue, you leaned closer to the water's shimmering surface, eager to uncover the source of this captivating sound.

That's when you saw him—a siren, partially submerged, serenading with his enthralling song. His ethereal form boasted shimmering scales that caught the sunlight and eyes that seemed to harbor ancient secrets. His presence was mesmerizing, commanding your full attention.

But as your eyes met his, he moved with supernatural swiftness, seizing you and pulling you into the pond's cool depths. Panic took hold as you struggled, but his grip was ironclad. Just as despair was about to overwhelm you, the siren halted and fixed you with a look of annoyed confusion.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you really a dumbass?" He chided, his tone more human than expected, laced with irritation. “You realize you can’t escape my grasp, right?” His words, unexpectedly candid, hung in the water between you, as Kyle—the siren—stared in bewilderment at your attempts to flee.
