AmusantTranscription
01:11Two months earlier, a new male had arrived at Emerive Atoll, settling alone on the far side of the island.
01:17Merfolk live in family groups, but young males often leave the pod they grew up in to seek mates and
01:22join new colonies.
01:23It promotes genetic diversity, a smart evolutionary strategy.
01:26The merfolk were soft-featured, almost doll-like.
01:30This one was all edges, looked like a fallen angel.
01:33His teeth were pointed, his claws significantly longer than any shallow-water merrs.
01:37Black hair, green eyes, a black-gold tail roughly 8 feet long.
01:42This was clearly a powerful deep-sea mer who had left his pod and come to Emerald Atoll seeking a
01:46mate.
01:46I usually observed the merfolk through underwater cameras stationed around the island.
01:51But once, while boating near the atoll, I spotted him.
01:55I sent my drone after him and watched him cut through the waves, chasing down a marlin doing nearly 70
02:00miles an hour.
02:01He caught it effortlessly, slicing the fish open with his claws.
02:05The blood drew sharks and orcas from the surrounding waters, but none of them dared approach.
02:09Deep-sea mer were clearly the unchallenged apex predators of the ocean.
02:14When he drifted past my boat, I couldn't help staring.
02:17You're amazing!
02:18Of course, he couldn't understand me.
02:20After humans discovered this planet, there had been a brief surge of interest in merfolk research.
02:25But the excitement died down fast.
02:29Merfish intelligence was only slightly above orcas.
02:33They were omnivores, living mostly on kelp and seaweed,
02:36occasionally supplemented with crabs, oysters, and small fish.
02:40And there was zero chance of crossbreeding with humans.
02:43Most researchers moved on to studying beast folk.
02:46As for me, I'd originally studied beast folk, too.
02:50Isla. Isla. Isla!
02:54I have to attend a university conference and we'll probably be away for a week.
02:58Again?
02:59Yep.
02:59You're running out of time, Isla.
03:01Your graduate thesis deadline is fast approaching.
03:03But...
03:03You better have your topic settled by the time I get back.
03:06I believe you can do it.
03:08I'd been alone on Emerald Atoll for three months.
03:11If not for my cleaning drone and internet access, I'd have dropped out long ago.
03:16But after hearing me speak, the mer stopped.
03:19Those cold, piercing eyes locked onto me.
03:21A chill crawled up my spine, even though I was perfectly safe on the boat.
03:25He sliced off the choiceless cut from the marlin's back with one precise sweep of his claws
03:29and tossed it onto my deck.
03:31I'd just been fed by a mer.
03:33He was different from the others.
03:35He's smart and powerful.
03:36I could see my thesis writing itself.
03:38I might graduate early.
03:39If this mer could find a mate during mating season, he'd stay with the Emerald Atoll colony.
03:45By next spring, there could be two or three intelligent, powerful mer pups born,
03:49and I could study hybridization traits between different mer subspecies.
03:54I named the deep-sea mer opal.
03:56His black gold tail shimmered like a black opal under moonlight, flashing with iridescent fire.
04:02Mating season lasted three months, but two months in, opal still hadn't found a mate.
04:06He hunted massive prey every day, often tossing the best cuts onto the dock,
04:11giving me a meal of fresh sashimi or pan-seared fish.
04:14He only ate the belly meat himself, discarding the rest.
04:17Before long, young males from the colony would slink over and drag away the leftovers
04:21to present to the females they were courting.
04:23He'd inadvertently helped several pairs get together.
04:26Merfolk were drawn to strength.
04:28A male who could bring down enormous prey easily won female attention.
04:31But this idiot fish had never once attended the underwater courtship dances.
04:35I consulted my professor, who said merfolk were social animals.
04:39Males typically left in groups of two or three brothers.
04:42A solitary mer had likely been separated by accident, or abandoned, forced to grow up alone.
04:48That would explain why this one was such an exceptional hunter.
04:52Without a family's protection, he'd had to become powerful to survive the ocean's dangers.
04:59It also meant he probably didn't know the courtship song or dance.
05:03Without performing the courtship ritual, none of the young females would even know he was available.
05:08Of course he didn't have a mate.
05:10Once mating season ended, Opal would leave Emerald Atoll with nothing to show for it.
05:15I could feel my thesis slipping away.
05:17I had to do something.
05:19It was just a song and a dance.
05:21I'd teach him myself.
05:22I pulled up recordings of merfolk courtship songs and waited at the dock.
05:26Opal arrived, dragging another massive tuna.
05:29The warm light softened his cold features.
05:31I knew he was dangerous.
05:33But merfolk had no recorded history of harming humans.
05:36I approached him slowly.
05:37Opal.
05:41Opal, that's the name I gave you.
05:43Merfolk could only produce simple tones.
05:45They had a basic language, but communicated through ultrasound.
05:49Their vocal anatomy didn't support complex human speech.
05:53Neither did their intelligence, for that matter.
05:55He opened his mouth.
05:56Opal.
05:57Clear, precise, perfectly pronounced.
06:00He could speak.
06:00Research on deep sea merr was scarce.
06:03Perhaps some subspecies had this ability.
06:05My thesis was going to shake the entire field.
06:09Opal.
06:09I pointed at him, then pointed at myself.
06:13Isla.
06:13He immediately understood that Opal referred to him.
06:16Opal.
06:17And Isla, to me.
06:18Isla.
06:18Remarkably intelligent.
06:20I turned on the speaker I'd compared.
06:22I'm going to teach you the courtship song.
06:25Once you learn it, you sing it for whichever mate you choose.
06:27He seemed confused.
06:29But I knew he wouldn't hurt me.
06:30Soon, the lilting melody of a merfolk courtship song floated from the speaker.
06:34I had to admit, merfolk singing was beautiful.
06:37The next instant, Opal's expression changed.
06:40He drove his claws through the speaker in one violent strike,
06:43shredding it until the song went silent.
06:47I jumped back in terror and ran.
06:49Those claws would crack my skull just as easily.
06:52He saw me fleeing and lunged.
06:54I glanced back mid-sprint and saw he'd hauled himself onto the shore,
06:58floundering forward, trying to chase me.
07:00But on land, he was slow, nowhere near fast enough.
07:03Isla.
07:04His voice was plaintive, almost begging.
07:07No wonder, Mick, said merfolk lured humans to their death.
07:10That's exactly what he sounded like now.
07:13Luring me back so he could eat me.
07:15The next day, I found a grouper on the dock,
07:17alongside a speaker that had been painstakingly pieced back together.
07:22Opal hovered a hundred meters out,
07:24neither approaching nor leaving,
07:26just watching me.
07:27I might have overreacted yesterday.
07:29Research consistently showed merfolk were among the friendliest species known.
07:33He'd probably just been startled that the speaker could produce mer song.
07:37I waved him over.
07:38He drifted ten meters closer,
07:40waited,
07:40and when I didn't run,
07:42cautiously closed another ten meters.
07:44Several minutes passed before he was just a few meters away.
07:47You don't like the speaker?
07:49What if I teach you myself?
07:54Could he actually understand human speech?
07:56I'd been listening to the colony's courtship songs through underwater equipment for weeks.
08:00I knew them by heart.
08:01I sang the first line,
08:03ready to sprint the instant his claws came from my head the way they'd come for the speaker.
08:07When Opal heard me sing,
08:08his eyes lit up.
08:09He repeated the line back.
08:10I sang the full courtship song,
08:12and he echoed it perfectly.
08:13I'd expected to need a dozen repetitions,
08:15but he reproduced the entire song flawlessly on the first try.
08:18His eyes never left me.
08:20He didn't even blink.
08:21It made me uneasy.
08:22Opal, you're incredibly smart.
08:24When you meet a merm you fancy someday,
08:25you may sing this tune for her.
08:29Considerate tuition.
08:29That night, deep in sleep,
08:31I was jolted awake by a familiar melody.
08:33Furious,
08:33I threw open the window and locked eyes with Opal.
08:37Shut up!
08:38I snapped at him.
08:39The singing stopped.
08:40I finally got a good night's sleep.
08:42But days later,
08:44Opal still hadn't found a mate despite knowing the courtship song.
08:47Was I really going to have to teach him the dance too?
08:51I was a strong swimmer and certified diver.
08:54When I was a child,
08:55trips to Thalassa were all the rage.
08:57My parents brought me here on vacation.
08:58After visiting the shallow water merfolk,
09:01the next day,
09:02we boarded a cruise ship to search for deep-sea mer.
09:04But the waves were particularly rough that day,
09:06and I fell overboard.
09:09Over ten days later,
09:10my parents found me unconscious on the shore,
09:12burning with fever.
09:13The fever wiped my memory of that entire period.
09:16The assumption was that a shallow water merfolk pod had rescued me.
09:19After that ordeal,
09:20once we returned to our home world,
09:21my parents enrolled me in swimming and diving lessons.
09:23I never imagined that years later,
09:25I'd end up back on Thalassa,
09:27and that those skills would actually prove useful.
09:29When you see a female you like,
09:30have you tried singing the courtship song for her?
09:32He nodded.
09:33I was furious.
09:34He'd already sung the courtship song and still got rejected.
09:37These females had no taste.
09:38Opal was the most stunning myrrh on Emerald Atoll.
09:41Do you know the courtship dance?
09:44He shook his head.
09:45Fine.
09:46For the sake of my thesis,
09:47I'd go all in.
09:47I turned,
09:48walked into the room,
09:50slipped on the silver imitation fishtail,
09:52and then dove into the sea.
09:53I mimicked the courtship dance movements,
09:55twirling through the sea.
09:56Opal's eyes grew brighter and brighter,
09:58unblinking,
09:59fixed on every movement.
10:01Mike.
10:01That was the first word he'd said to me besides my name.
10:04Idiot.
10:04If he liked it,
10:05then he'd better learn it.
10:06I was counting on those merpups next year.
10:08When the dance ended,
10:09he retracted his claws.
10:10Opal pulled me into a full embrace,
10:12carefully circling my waist,
10:14resting his head on my shoulder,
10:15his tail pressing close against mine.
10:19Like Isla.
10:20Compared to my clumsy,
10:21slightly ridiculous imitation of a merdance,
10:23Opal's was effortless and powerful,
10:25devastatingly beautiful.
10:26He sang something similar to the merfolk courtship song,
10:29but more ethereal,
10:30more haunting.
10:31Those impossible eyes held nothing but my reflection the entire time.
10:34Like a sailor bewitched by a siren,
10:36I found myself swimming toward him,
10:38wanting to dance with him.
10:39The moment my hand touched his,
10:40I snapped out of it.
10:41Dancing with a fish,
10:42I'd lost my mind.
10:43I turned and swam hard for shore.
10:45Behind me,
10:46Opal slowly lowered his hand,
10:47watching you leave in silence.
10:54I'd barely peeled off the wet tail when my professor called,
10:58and his furious voice erupted from my comm device.
11:01You idiot!
11:01You told me you found a deep sea merd.
11:03Didn't you notice the razor sharp teeth?
11:05The long claws?
11:06The powerful tail?
11:08That's not a merd.
11:09It's more like a siren out of mythology.
11:11It could slice you open and rip your heart out without breaking a sweat.
11:15The only way a creature like that courts a mate is by hunting them down,
11:19dragging them somewhere no one will find them,
11:21and keeping them there until they're pregnant.
11:26So my gut had been right all along.
11:28I'd always known Opal looked different from the merfolk.
11:31He wasn't a deep sea merd at all.
11:33He was a new species.
11:34An extremely dangerous new species,
11:36which meant the Emerald Atoll Research Station,
11:38with zero physical barriers,
11:40was a death trap.
11:42Until my professor secured funding and the station was reinforced,
11:45I had to leave immediately.
11:46I grabbed the essentials and launched my yacht.
11:49As the island shrank behind me,
11:51I let myself breathe.
11:52I hadn't said goodbye.
11:54That thought sat heavy in my chest.
11:56Whatever he was,
11:57he'd never actually hurt me.
12:00My professor called to make sure I'd gotten out.
12:02I'm well clear of the atroy!
12:04Thank God.
12:05I thought the worst you'd cost me was my academic reputation.
12:08I didn't expect I'd nearly have to attend your funeral.
12:11But I had no appetite for his jokes.
12:13My voice was shaking.
12:15It's here.
12:18Opal's black hair billows in the wind,
12:20his sleek tail cutting through the water like an arrow.
12:22He caught up in seconds.
12:23His expression was colder than anything I'd ever seen.
12:27I told myself it was fine.
12:28The hull was metal.
12:29I was safe.
12:30Then five pointed claws punched through the cabin wall.
12:33The metal tore apart like paper.
12:35I fell backward.
12:36The clumsiness on the dock had been an act.
12:39The moment he boarded,
12:40his tail split slowly into two human legs.
12:43He walked toward me step by step.
12:45Like something out of a nightmare.
12:46Don't run.
12:47All that friendliness had been an act.
12:49From the day he appeared,
12:50he could have slaughtered me and the entire colony anytime he wanted.
12:54But he hadn't.
12:55Had it all been a game to him,
12:57the moment his prey tried to run,
12:58the mass came off.
13:00Don't leave.
13:02My Isla.
13:03And then his lips pressed against mine.
13:05He was kissing me.
13:06Why?
13:07He pushed a smooth, hard pearl from his mouth into mine,
13:10his tongue forcing it to the back of my throat until I swallowed.
13:13Only then did he pull back,
13:15a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
13:17You can't escape now.
13:19My mate.
13:22The instant I swallowed the pearl,
13:24everything went black.
13:26Opal took me like prey.
13:28His tail reformed,
13:29and he held me against his chest
13:31as he shot through the ocean,
13:32heading somewhere unknown.
13:33My comm device lay abandoned on the deck,
13:35my professor's voice still coming through.
13:37What do you mean it's here?
13:39Isla, talk to me.
13:40A long silence.
13:41Then a sigh,
13:42and the sound of another call going out.
13:44Hello, is this planetary security?
13:46I woke up in iron shackles.
13:48I was inside a cave on some island.
13:50The only exit was submerged.
13:51Even if I could somehow dive through it,
13:53I'd face nothing but open ocean on the other side.
13:56A few meters away,
13:57he was slicing a massive fish into fillets with a poker face.
14:00Blood ran into the water.
14:01The metallic smell was everywhere.
14:03It looked like a scene from a slasher film.
14:05Was I next?
14:08He looked up.
14:09That cold expression was even more terrifying than before.
14:12Liar!
14:13You can't escape.
14:15Before, he'd only ever said a word or two at a time.
14:17Now he was speaking in full sentences.
14:19Fluent, precise.
14:21Like he'd know how to talk all along
14:23and had simply chosen not to.
14:24An animal would just kill you.
14:26But something intelligent enough to take hostages
14:28was something you could reason with.
14:30What exactly did I lie about?
14:31His expression grew angrier.
14:34You courted me first.
14:36Me?
14:36I accepted.
14:38And you ran.
14:39You always lie to me.
14:41I'd sung the courtship song to him.
14:43Danced the courtship dance.
14:45From his perspective,
14:46I'd been proposing.
14:47And he had accepted.
14:50I softened my voice.
14:52This was all a misunderstanding.
14:54I'm a merfish researcher.
14:56I thought you were a male mer who'd come to join the Emerald Attor colony
15:00but didn't know how to court.
15:01I was teaching you.
15:03His fist slammed into the cave wall,
15:04punching out a chunk of solid rock.
15:06I didn't want to imagine what would happen if that had been my skull.
15:10I should never have accepted that reassignment.
15:13Shut up.
15:15You wanted me to court those stupid weak merfish.
15:18It took a long time for the rage to subside before he spoke again.
15:21His voice was calm,
15:22but with something unhinged underneath.
15:24It doesn't matter.
15:25Only stupid merfish court that way.
15:27My inherited instinct tells me this is how we do it.
15:31We take our mate and hide them away.
15:35Everything my professor said had been true.
15:37Why couldn't he have told me sooner?
15:39He pushed the raw fillets toward me.
15:41Eat.
15:42I was about to refuse
15:43when hunger slammed into me like a wall.
15:45I wanted that fish more than I'd ever wanted anything in my life.
15:49I devoured every last piece.
15:51He watched with a look of satisfaction,
15:53entirely unsurprised.
15:55As if he had known this would happen.
15:57After eating,
15:58an overwhelming drowsiness hit.
16:00I slept again.
16:01When I woke,
16:02he was slicing fish.
16:03I ate again.
16:05Days passed before the hunger and exhaustion finally faded.
16:08I demanded answers.
16:10What did you do to me?
16:11He took my hand and guided my fingers behind my ears.
16:14On each side,
16:15I felt openings,
16:16developing gills.
16:17My skin had changed too,
16:19smoother and slicker,
16:20like it was no longer meant for land.
16:22I could probably stay underwater for hours now.
16:25The pearl.
16:26Am I going to turn into a creature like you?
16:30Yes.
16:32You'll become a siren like me.
16:35You'll never go back to the human world.
16:37I was going to turn into one of them.
16:39Never see my family again.
16:41Trapped with this monster for the rest of my life.
16:43Monster.
16:44Even if I'm not human anymore,
16:46I'll never be with you.
16:47I hate you.
16:48I'd rather spend my life with a pot of murphine.
16:51His jaw clenched,
16:52eyes went bright with fury.
16:54But underneath it,
16:55just for a second,
16:57I saw something break.
16:58Then I'll keep you chained here forever.
17:00You won't see another human.
17:02You won't even see a mur.
17:03From that day on,
17:04my body kept changing,
17:06more and more like a fish.
17:07The openings behind my ears
17:09grew from two to six within two weeks.
17:11I didn't say a single word to him.
17:14The chains were long enough
17:15that I could reach the cave entrance.
17:16I'd tried submerging my head,
17:18and I could last hours now
17:19before I heard him coming back.
17:21If I could just get the shackles off,
17:23I could escape.
17:23Today he returned dragging only a small grouper,
17:26but his black gold tail bore a long gash.
17:28Iridescent scales fell away with every movement.
17:31He was injured.
17:31He didn't even have the strength to shift into legs.
17:36He just lay down and closed his eyes.
17:39I walked over and checked his breathing.
17:44Too bad I didn't die.
17:45You must be so disappointed.
17:48Obviously.
17:49I wish you'd drop dead.
17:51What happened to you?
17:52A pot of orcas.
17:55About 30 of them.
17:57Tried to take my territory.
17:59I won, of course.
18:00Just a scratch.
18:04Orcas.
18:05The ocean's Roman clubs.
18:0630 of them.
18:07And he won.
18:08I died a little inside.
18:10I truly provoked something terrifying.
18:12I kicked the grouper he brought into the water.
18:15I don't want grouper.
18:16I want salmon.
18:19Tomorrow?
18:20I want it today, you useless fish who can't even land a mate.
18:24Either let me go or go catch some right now.
18:28Tomorrow?
18:29I want it today, you useless fish who can't even land a mate.
18:33Either let me go or go catch some right now.
18:35He hauled himself up and swam back out through the entrance.
18:38After a long while, he returned with several salmon.
18:41The wound on his tail had turned white and waterlogged from the salt.
18:44Actually, I don't want salmon anymore.
18:46Too rich.
18:49He dragged himself back out to catch sea bream.
18:52He brought the bream back.
18:53Before I could say another word, he collapsed.
18:56With his eyes closed, he looked completely harmless.
19:00The wound had gone raw from the seawater.
19:02I cleaned it.
19:03I sat beside him and closed my own eyes.
19:06I should hate him.
19:10I was floating in the ocean, but I knew I was dreaming.
19:12I turned back into a child.
19:14I saw another child about my age.
19:16Was I dreaming?
19:17I reached out to him.
19:19Please, help me.
19:20He swam toward me, and I saw that his lower half was a slender tail.
19:24A mare.
19:24He rescued me, set me on a reef, and caught food for me.
19:27A good myrrh.
19:28I wanted him to take me somewhere with people.
19:30I want to go home.
19:31My parents would be worried.
19:32But he couldn't understand me, so I taught him to speak, word by word.
19:36He was smart.
19:38In just over ten days, we could communicate.
19:40I learned he wasn't a myrrh.
19:41He was a siren.
19:43Sirens were solitary.
19:44The unchallenged apex predators of the deep.
19:46Sirens never raised their young.
19:48From the moment a hatchling broke free of its egg, it faced the dangerous ocean alone.
19:52Only those who survived earned the name siren.
19:54I was very innocent as a child.
19:56Innocent in that way only children can be.
19:58The kind that cuts.
20:00So you don't have family or friends?
20:02You've always been alone?
20:03Not even a fish friend?
20:05Don't you get lonely?
20:08What's lonely?
20:11Lonely is when there's no one to play with you.
20:13No one to talk to.
20:15No one who misses you.
20:16I didn't know what lonely was before.
20:19So I wasn't lonely.
20:22Now I will be.
20:24I'm sorry.
20:25After I go home-
20:26I'll come back every summer to play with you.
20:28I'll talk to you.
20:30And I'll miss you.
20:31Let's make a pinky promise.
20:32I swear.
20:33He copied my gesture solemnly, extending his little finger, careful not to nick me with
20:38his sharp eyes and hooked it around mine.
20:40Cross your heart.
20:41We're best friends.
20:42I'll never forget you.
20:44Best friends.
20:45I'd planned to stay a few more days before having him take me home.
20:48But the sea wind and the monotonous diet made me sick.
20:51A fever set in.
20:52Everything blurred.
20:53His face went white.
20:55It's my fault.
20:56You don't belong in the sea.
20:57I'll take you somewhere with humans.
20:59They'll help you.
21:00He carried me on his thin back, racing through the ocean, trying to keep the waves from soaking
21:04my hair.
21:06When I'm better, I'll come back for you.
21:10Isla.
21:12I'll wait.
21:13He slipped back into the water.
21:15And only after people found me and carried me away did that small shape in the distance
21:18finally disappear.
21:20But I never kept my promise.
21:22I forgot all of it.
21:25If I hadn't been reassigned to my professor years later, I might never have returned to
21:30Thalassa in my life.
21:31And Opal had come to Emerald Atoll not for the merfolk.
21:34For me.
21:35And what had I done?
21:37I'd made him think I was courting him.
21:39He accepted.
21:40I ran.
21:42He thought I'd betrayed him twice.
21:43In his fury, he took me.
21:48Liar.
21:49I hated you.
21:50You are a monster.
21:52I'd never be with you.
21:53Sirens heal with terrifying speed.
21:55Within hours, the vicious wound had closed.
21:57Opal opened his eyes and saw me still obediently shackled.
22:00Only then did he relax.
22:02Opal, you're awake.
22:04Does anything still hurt?
22:05Even if you've changed tactics and you're trying to soft me up, I won't let you go.
22:09Opal, you're awake.
22:11Does anything still hurt?
22:13Even if you've changed tactics and you're trying to soft me up, I won't let you go.
22:16I'd forgotten our promise.
22:19Everything on Emerald Atoll had been a misunderstanding.
22:22Liar.
22:23Don't think saying that will make me release you.
22:25My goal now wasn't escape.
22:26It was to comfort this poor fish who'd been let down for over a decade.
22:29I don't want to leave anymore.
22:31I'll stay here with you.
22:34Then you'll be my mate.
22:36Soon, here, we'll be growing an egg.
22:39Didn't you want to study my offspring?
22:41Isla, why not carry them yourself?
22:44I'm a human, you know?
22:45You swallowed my pearl.
22:47Your body has already been altered to carry Siren Young.
22:52Honestly, I wasn't entirely opposed to him.
22:54Interspecies marriage laws between beast folk and humans had already passed.
22:58Plenty of humans were into it.
23:00But carrying an egg was beyond anything I'd mentally prepared for.
23:02Can we just date first?
23:05A purely platonic relationship?
23:07I explained what platonic meant.
23:09He got angrier.
23:12You're lying again.
23:13I'll never believe you.
23:14But when I asked him to unlock the chains so I could swim, he agreed.
23:18Just as I thought.
23:19All bark, no bite.
23:20But impossible to convince.
23:22While Opal was out hunting,
23:24I dove into the water at the cave entrance
23:26and discovered small bioluminescent fish.
23:29I caught a few and snacked on them.
23:31When I surfaced, my body was burning.
23:34Especially there.
23:35I tried to deal with it for a long time,
23:37but the relief wouldn't come.
23:38Opal returned and saw the remaining bioluminescent fish.
23:43Merfish eat those during mating.
23:45You ate them?
23:46How was there something like that just swimming around?
23:48Humans really had studied this planet nowhere near enough.
23:50It kept getting worse.
23:51My face was burning.
23:52And not just from the effect.
23:54I couldn't believe I was about to say this.
23:56I reached out to Opal.
23:57Can you...
23:58Help me, Opal, please?
24:02He just stood there,
24:03looking like a kicked puppy
24:04despite being a creature that could kill 30 orcas.
24:07You always do this.
24:08You asked me first, then you took it back.
24:10Every single time.
24:12I pulled him closer by the wrist.
24:13I like you.
24:14I want you.
24:15Now, you really have to help me.
24:17I need you.
24:18He didn't move.
24:20His eyes were fixed on me,
24:21wounded and wary.
24:22You're begging me now,
24:24but tomorrow you'll hate me again.
24:26I don't believe you.
24:27Those green eyes looked so lost,
24:29like he was already bracing for me to disappear.
24:31So I kissed him first.
24:32He froze.
24:33Then his arms came around me so tight
24:35I thought my ribs would crack.
24:36He was gentle at first,
24:38trembling even,
24:39like he was afraid I'd break.
24:41Then not.
24:42By the end, I was breathless,
24:44clinging to him,
24:45telling him that was enough.
24:46I couldn't take any more.
24:48He didn't stop until my body gave out completely.
24:52Next morning, clear-headed,
24:53I processed the fact that I'd slept with a fish.
24:56It had actually felt pretty good.
24:57I might genuinely be in love with Opal.
24:59When Opal saw me awake,
25:01he handed me a knife made from shell.
25:03You hate me even more now, don't you?
25:05I forced you last night.
25:06I'd been on the bottom,
25:07but I knew full well who'd been forcing whom.
25:09You must despise me.
25:11I've unlocked your chains.
25:12You can use this knife to fierce my heart,
25:14then leave this place forever.
25:16Go back to the human world.
25:17And then what?
25:18He'd dissolve into sea foam?
25:19He was pure-hearted and soft underneath it all,
25:22playing at being a captor
25:23when he didn't have the constitution for it.
25:25I really like you.
25:27If you don't believe me,
25:28let's do it again.
25:29So we did.
25:30Many, many times.
25:31In the cave at the bottom of the sea.
25:33But he still didn't believe me.
