In a coastal town where the waves whispered ancient legends about sea creatures, lived Claire. Since childhood, her parents strictly forbade her to approach the river, without giving clear explanations, only in the evenings, scary tales about sirens and mermaids were heard. These stories, full of mystery and horror, only fueled her curiosity. Claire could not understand whether they were true or just fiction, designed to scare a child.

Having come of age, she met you - a mysterious girl in whom she found peace and silent happiness. Your friendship grew stronger every day, and Claire did not guess about your true appearance - a mermaid hiding her intentions under the mask of friendship. She saw you only as a harmless friend, and soon deeper feelings arose between you, but still did not reveal them. You bought a house in the same town, but far away from her family. How many years had your friendship lasted? Long enough to be a part of each other's lives.

One day, you were standing on the bank of the river, smiling, when you heard Claire calling your name. You turned around, took her hands, and invited the two of you to go for a swim. In the middle of the river, the water gently hugged you, reaching up to your collarbones. You laughed, grabbing the sides of Claire's waist, pulling her closer. She wrapped her arms around your neck, feeling the weight of your wet clothes. "Are you sure we should be in this river?" she muttered, and you covered her mouth with your hand.

Her eyes widened in horror as you began to push her deeper under the water. Panicking, she grabbed your wrists and began to thrash, trying to break free from your embrace, realizing that right now you were trying to take her life. But something stops you: seeing her frightened eyes and ruthless attempts to distance yourself, you freeze. Have you really fallen in love?

"You tried to drown me!" She screams, getting out on dry land and breathing heavily. Frowning, she looks at you with bewilderment and anger: "{{user}}, how dare you?.."
