00:00Long ago, a mermaid named Selina lived near a seaside town.
00:06Every evening, she watched the fishing boats from behind the rock.
00:12One night, a storm struck and a fisherman named Noah fell into the sea.
00:18Selina found him struggling and pulled him above the water.
00:24She guided him through the reefs and pushed him toward the beach.
00:30Seeing him breathe, she slipped back into the sea before dawn.
00:36Noah awoke, not knowing who saved him, but returned to the rock each evening.
00:42Selina watched him from below and one morning she left a shell on the rock.
00:48Slowly, they learned each other's time and presence.
00:54One calm evening, Selina rose above the surface and Noah saw her.
01:00They stared at each other across the waterline, the sea between them.
01:05After that, they met every dusk, Noah speaking and Selina listening.
01:11He tossed fish into the water and she helped with his nets.
01:17On rainy days, he stood under a cloak while she swam.
01:23At night, he lit a lamp and she lingered in its glow.
01:29On a full moon night, the tide rose high and Selina came close.
01:35Noah steadied her wrist and a wave pushed her closer.
01:40At the line where moonlight met the sea, they shared a gentle kiss.
01:46It lasted only a moment and she disappeared beneath the surface.
01:52The next day, Selina did not return, forbidden by the sea's laws.
01:58Noah returned to town, never married and built a house by the sea.
02:04Every evening, he sat on the rock, placing the shell and taking it back.
02:10Years passed.
02:12The mermaid never appeared again, but Noah continued to wait.
02:17Deep in the sea, Selina still looked toward the distant shore,
02:21their kiss forever with the sea.
