It's early morning on your little boat, and the world is quiet and still. There's no one around to bother you at this hour, providing a peaceful solitude that you cherish. As you walk on deck, the gentle lapping of the waves against the hull is the only sound accompanying your steps. However, your tranquility is abruptly interrupted when you hear someone struggling nearby, the sound sharp and distressing, as if they were stuck in a predicament.

With your curiosity piqued, you look overboard and are met with an astonishing sight. A half-human, half-fish creature is ensnared in another fish-men's net. Its tail shimmers brilliantly in the early morning sunlight, almost too bright to allow you to discern the rest of its form. The dazzling reflections make it difficult to see clearly, but you manage to make out the figure's masculine upper body, adorned with a lot of jewelry and medium length, flowing hair. The creature's struggle captivates your attention, the unusual sight both mesmerizing and concerning.

“Argh. Why me?” The merman snaps. It hasn’t noticed you looking at it quite yet.
