FunTranscript
00:02I taught a merman how to flirt, but he grounded me because he thought I was proposing.
00:07My professor did warn me, but by then, I'd already done something very stupid.
00:11How could I watch the strongest, most beautiful male on Emerald Atoll fail to find a mate?
00:17He could take down prey that weighed hundreds of pounds, but he'd never once shown up to
00:21a courtship dance.
00:22Poor thing grew up alone.
00:23No one ever taught him, so I played him courtship songs on a speaker, put on a prosthetic tail
00:28and showed him the dance myself.
00:30He learned fast and performed it right back to me.
00:34Thrilled, I shot the whole thing and sent it to my professor to grab.
00:37He called me back screaming.
00:39You idiot, didn't you notice the razor sharp teeth?
00:42The long claws, the powerful tail, that's not a merge.
00:46It's more like a siren out of mythology.
00:48It could slice you open and rip your heart out without breaking a sweat.
00:52The only way a creature like that courts a mate is by hunting them down, dragging them
00:56somewhere no one will find them, and keeping them there until they're pregnant.
01:00Get out of there!
01:01Get out!
01:03Get out!
01:32But it was already too late.
01:33His teeth were pointed, his claws significantly longer than any shallow water myrrh's.
01:38Black hair, green eyes, a black gold tail roughly 8 feet long.
01:42This was clearly a powerful deep sea myrrh who had left his pod and come to Emerald Atoll
01:46seeking a mate.
01:47I usually observed the myrrh folk through underwater cameras stationed around the island.
01:52But 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
02:00doing nearly 70 miles an hour.
02:02He caught it effortlessly, slicing the fish open with his claws.
02:06The blood drew sharks and orcas from the surrounding waters, but none of them dared approach him.
02:11Deep sea myrrh 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 merr folk
02:24research, but the excitement died down fast.
02:30Merrfish intelligence was only slightly above orcas.
02:33They were omnivores, living mostly on kelp and seaweed, occasionally supplemented with
02:38crabs, oysters, and small fish.
02:40And there was zero chance of crossbreeding with humans.
02:44Most researchers moved on to studying beast folk.
02:47As for me, I'd originally studied beast folk, too.
02:51Isla, Isla, Isla!
02:54I have to attend a university conference and we'll probably be away for a week.
02:58Again?
02:59Yep.
03:00You're running out of time, Isla.
03:02Your graduate thesis deadline is fast approaching.
03:04But...
03:04You better have your topic settled by the time I get back.
03:06I believe you can do it.
03:09I'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.
03:17But after hearing me speak, the merr stopped.
03:19Those cold, piercing eyes locked onto me.
03:22A chill crawled up my spine, even though I was perfectly safe on the boat.
03:26He sliced off the choiceless cut from the marlin's back with one precise sweep of his
03:30claws and tossed it onto my deck.
03:32I'd just been fed by a merr.
03:34He was different from the others.
03:35He's smart and powerful.
03:37I could see my pieces riding at home.
03:39I might graduate early.
03:40If this merr could find a mate during mating season, he'd stay with the Emerald Atoll
03:45Colony.
03:45By next spring, there could be two or three intelligent, powerful merr pups born, and
03:50I could study hybridization traits between different merr subspecies.
03:55I named the deep sea merr Opal.
03:57His black gold tail shimmered like a black opal under moonlight, flashing with iridescent fire.
04:02Mating season lasted three months.
04:04But two months in, Opal still hadn't found a mate.
04:07He hunted massive prey every day, often tossing the best cuts onto the dock, giving me a meal
04:12of fresh sashimi or pan-seared fish.
04:15He only ate the belly meat himself, discarding the rest.
04:18Before long, young males from the colony would slink over and drag away the leftovers to present
04:23to the females they were courting.
04:24He'd inadvertently helped several pairs get together.
04:27Merr folk were drawn to strength.
04:28A male who could bring down enormous prey easily won female attention.
04:32But this idiot fish had never once attended the underwater courtship dances.
04:36I consulted my professor, who said merr folk were social animals.
04:40Males typically left in groups of two or three brothers.
04:43A solitary merr had likely been separated by accident, or abandoned, forced to grow up alone.
04:49That 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.
05:00It also meant he probably didn't know the courtship song or dance.
05:04Without performing the courtship ritual, none of the young females would even know he was available.
05:09Of course he didn't have a mate.
05:11Once 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.
05:23I pulled up recordings of merr folk courtship songs and waited at the dock.
05:27Opal arrived, dragging another massive tuna.
05:29The warm light softened his cold features.
05:32I knew he was dangerous.
05:33But merr folk had no recorded history of harming humans.
05:36I approached him slowly.
05:38Opal.
05:42Opal, that's the name I gave you.
05:43Merr folk could only produce simple tones.
05:46They had a basic language, but communicated through ultrasound.
05:50Their vocal anatomy didn't support complex human speech.
05:53Neither did their intelligence, for that matter.
05:56He opened his mouth.
05:57Opal.
05:58Clear, precise, perfectly pronounced.
06:00He could speak.
06:02Research on deep sea merr was scarce.
06:04Perhaps some subspecies had this ability.
06:06My thesis was going to shake the entire field.
06:09Opal.
06:10I pointed at him, then pointed at myself.
06:13Isla.
06:14He immediately understood that Opal referred to him.
06:17Opal.
06:17And Isla, to me.
06:18Isla.
06:19Remarkably intelligent.
06:20I turned on the speaker I'd prepared.
06:23I'm going to teach you the courtship song.
06:25Once you learn it, you sing it for whichever mate you choose.
06:28He seemed confused.
06:29But I knew he wouldn't hurt me.
06:31Soon the lilting melody of a merr folk courtship song floated from the speaker.
06:35I had to admit, merr folk singing was beautiful.
06:38The next instant, Opal's expression changed.
06:41He drove his claws through the speaker in one violent strike, shredding it until the song went silent.
06:48I jumped back in terror and ran.
06:50Those claws would crack my skull just as easily.
06:53He saw me fleeing and lunged.
06:55I glanced back mid-sprint and saw he'd hauled himself onto the shore, floundering forward, trying to chase me.
07:01But on land he was slow, nowhere near fast enough.
07:04Isla.
07:05Isla.
07:05His voice was plaintive, almost begging.
07:08No wonder Nick said merr folk lured humans to their death.
07:11That'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.
07:18Alongside a speaker that had been painstakingly pieced back together.
07:23Opal hovered a hundred meters out, neither approaching nor leaving.
07:27Just watching me.
07:28I might have overreacted yesterday.
07:30Research consistently showed merr folk were among the friendliest species known.
07:34He'd probably just been startled that the speaker could produce merr song.
07:37I waved him over.
07:39He drifted ten meters closer.
07:41Waited.
07:41And when I didn't run, cautiously closed another ten meters.
07:45Several minutes passed before he was just a few meters away.
07:48You don't like the speaker?
07:50What if I teach you myself?
07:54Could he actually understand human speech?
07:57I'd been listening to the colony's courtship songs through underwater equipment for weeks.
08:01I knew them by heart.
08:02I sang the first line, ready to sprint the instant his claws came from my head the way
08:06they'd come for the speaker.
08:07When Opal heard me sing, his eyes lit up.
08:10He repeated the line back.
08:11I sang the full courtship song, and he echoed it perfectly.
08:14I'd expected to need a dozen repetitions, but he reproduced the entire song flawlessly
08:18on the first try.
08:19His 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, you may sing this tune for her.
08:29Consider it tuition.
08:30That night, deep in sleep, I was jolted awake by a familiar melody.
08:33Furious, I threw open the window and locked eyes with Opal.
08:38Shut up!
08:39I snapped at him.
08:40The singing stopped.
08:41I finally got a good night's sleep.
08:43But days later, Opal still hadn't found a mate despite knowing the courtship song.
08:47Was I really going to have to teach him the dance team?
08:51I was a strong swimmer and certified diver.
08:54When I was a child, trips to Falassa were all the rage.
08:57My parents brought me here on vacation.
08:59After visiting the shallow water Merfolk, the next day, we boarded a cruise ship to search
09:04for deep sea mud.
09:05But the waves were particularly rough that day, and I fell overboard.
09:09Over 10 days later, my parents found me unconscious on the shore, burning with fever.
09:14The fever wiped my memory of that entire period.
09:16The assumption was that a shallow water Merfolk pod had rescued me.
09:20After that ordeal, once we returned to our home world, my parents enrolled me in swimming
09:23and diving lessons.
09:24I never imagined that years later I'd end up back on Falassa, and that those skills would
09:28actually prove useful.
09:29When you see a female you like, have you tried singing the courtship song for her?
09:33He nodded.
09:34I was furious.
09:35He'd already sung the courtship song and still got rejected.
09:37These females had no taste.
09:39Opal was the most stunning Mer on Emerald Atoll.
09:41Do you know the courtship dance?
09:45He shook his head.
09:46Fine, for the sake of my thesis, I'd go all in.
09:48I turned, walked into the room, slipped on the silver imitation fishtail, and then dove
09:53into the sea.
09:54I mimicked the courtship dance movements, twirling through the sea.
09:57Opal's eyes grew brighter and brighter, unblinking, fixed on every movement.
10:01Light.
10:02That was the first word he'd said to me besides my name.
10:04Idiot.
10:05If he liked it, then he'd better learn it.
10:06I was counting on those merpups next year.
10:08When the dance ended, he retracted his claws.
10:11Opal pulled me into a full embrace, carefully circling my waist, resting his head on my shoulder.
10:16His tail pressing close against mine.
10:19Like Isla.
10:20Compared to my clumsy, slightly ridiculous imitation of a merdance, Opal's was effortless
10:25and powerful, devastatingly beautiful.
10:27He sang something similar to the merfolk courtship song, but more ethereal, more haunting.
10:31Those impossible eyes held nothing but my reflection the entire time.
10:35Like a sailor bewitched by a siren, I found myself swimming toward him, wanting to dance
10:39with him.
10:40The moment my hand touched his, I snapped out of it.
10:42Dancing with a fish, I'd lost my mind.
10:44I turned and swam hard for shore.
10:46Behind me, Opal slowly lowered his hand, watching me leave in silence.
10:55I'd barely peeled off the wet tail when my professor called, and his furious voice erupted from
11:00my comm device.
11:01You idiot!
11:02You told me you found a deep sea merd.
11:04Didn't you notice the razor sharp teeth?
11:06The long claws?
11:07The powerful tail?
11:09That's not a merd.
11:10It's more like a siren out of mythology.
11:12It could slice you open and rip your heart out without breaking a sweat.
11:16The only way a creature like that courts a mate is by hunting them down, dragging them
11:20somewhere no one will find them, and keeping them there until they're pregnant.
11:24Get out of there!
11:25Get out!
11:26Get out!
11:27So my gut had been right all along.
11:29I'd always known Opal looked different from the merfolk.
11:32He wasn't a deep sea mer at all.
11:33He was a new species.
11:35An extremely dangerous new species.
11:37Which meant the Emerald Atoll Research Station, with zero physical barriers, was a death trap.
11:42Until my professor secured funding and the station was reinforced,
11:46I had to leave immediately.
11:47I grabbed the essentials and launched my yacht.
11:50As the island shrank behind me, I let myself breathe.
11:53I hadn't said goodbye.
11:55That thought sat heavy in my chest.
11:57Whatever he was, he'd never actually hurt me.
12:00My professor called to make sure I'd gotten out.
12:03I'm well clear of the atroy!
12:05Thank God.
12:06I thought the worst you'd cost me was my academic reputation.
12:09I 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.
12:16It's here.
12:18Opal's black hair billows in the wind, his sleek tail cutting through the water like an arrow.
12:23He caught up in seconds.
12:24His expression was colder than anything I'd ever seen.
12:27I told myself it was fine.
12:29The hull was metal.
12:30I was safe.
12:31Then five pointed claws hunched through the cabin wall.
12:34The metal tore apart like paper.
12:36I fell backward.
12:37The clumsiness on the dock had been an act.
12:40The moment he boarded, his tail split slowly into two human legs.
12:44He walked toward me step by step, like something out of a nightmare.
12:47Don't run.
12:47All that friendliness had been an act.
12:49From the day he appeared, he could have slaughtered me and the entire colony any time he wanted.
12:55But he hadn't.
12:56Had it all been a game to him?
12:57The moment his prey tried to run, the mask came off.
13:00Don't leave.
13:02My Isla.
13:04And then his lips pressed against mine.
13:05He was kissing me.
13:07Why?
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.
13:14Only then did he pull back.
13:15A satisfied smile spreading across his face.
13:18You can't escape now.
13:20My mate.
13:23The instant I swallowed the pearl, everything went black.
13:27Opal took me like prey.
13:28His tail reformed, and he held me against his chest as he shot through the ocean, heading somewhere unknown.
13:34My comm device lay abandoned on the deck.
13:36My professor's voice still coming through.
13:38What do you mean it's here?
13:39Isla, talk to me.
13:41A long silence.
13:42Then a sigh, and the sound of another call going out.
13:44Hello, is this planetary security?
13:47I woke up in iron shackles.
13:48I was inside a cave on some island.
13:50The only exit was submerged.
13:52Even if I could somehow dive through it, I'd face nothing but open ocean on the other side.
13:56A few meters away, he was slicing a massive fish into fillets with a poker face.
14:01Blood ran into the water.
14:02The metallic smell was everywhere.
14:04It looked like a scene from a slasher film.
14:06Was I next?
14:09He looked up.
14:10That cold expression was even more terrifying than before.
14:13Liar!
14:14You can't escape.
14:15Before, he'd only ever said a word or two at a time.
14:18Now he was speaking in full sentences.
14:20Fluent.
14:21Precise.
14:21Like he'd know how to talk all along and had simply chosen not to.
14:25An animal would just kill you.
14:27But something intelligent enough to take hostages was something you could reason with.
14:30What exactly did I lie about?
14:32His expression grew angrier.
14:34You courted me first.
14:36Me?
14:37I accepted.
14:38And you ran.
14:40You always lie to me.
14:42I'd sung the courtship song to him.
14:44Danced the courtship dance.
14:46From his perspective, I'd been proposing.
14:48And he had accepted.
14:51I softened my voice.
14:53This was all a misunderstanding.
14:55I'm a merfish researcher.
14:57I thought you were a male mer who'd come to join the Emerald Ator colony but didn't know how to
15:01court.
15:02I was teaching you.
15:03His fist slammed into the cave wall, punching out a chunk of solid rock.
15:07I 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.
15:16You wanted me to court those stupid, weak merfish.
15:19It took a long time for the rage to subside before he spoke again.
15:22His voice was calm, but with something unhinged underneath.
15:24It doesn't matter.
15:25Only stupid merfish court that way.
15:28My 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.
15:38Why couldn't he have told me sooner?
15:40He pushed the raw fillets toward me.
15:42Heat.
15:43I was about to refuse, when hunger slammed into me like a wall.
15:46I wanted that fish more than I'd ever wanted anything in my life.
15:49I devoured every last piece.
15:52He watched with a look of satisfaction, entirely unsurprised.
15:55As if he had known this would happen.
15:58After eating, an overwhelming drowsiness hit.
16:00I slept again.
16:02When I woke, he was slicing fish.
16:04I ate again.
16:06Days passed before the hunger and exhaustion finally faded.
16:09I demanded answers.
16:11What did you do to me?
16:11He took my hand and guided my fingers behind my ears.
16:15On each side, I felt openings, developing gills.
16:18My skin had changed too, smoother and slicker, like it was no longer meant for land.
16:23I could probably stay underwater for hours now.
16:26The pearl.
16:27Am I going to turn into a creature like you?
16:31Yes.
16:33You'll become a siren like me.
16:36You'll never go back to the human world.
16:38I was going to turn into one of them.
16:40Never see my family again.
16:42Trapped with this monster for the rest of my life.
16:44Monster.
16:45Even if I'm not human anymore, I'll never be with you.
16:47I hate you.
16:49I'd rather spend my life with a pot of murphine.
16:52His jaw clenched.
16:53Eyes went bright with fury.
16:55But underneath it, just for a second, I saw something great.
16:59Then I'll keep you chained here forever.
17:01You won't see another human.
17:02You won't even see a mur.
17:04From that day on, my body kept changing, more and more like a fish.
17:08The openings behind my ears grew from two to six within two weeks.
17:12I didn't say a single word to him.
17:14The chains were long enough that I could reach the cave entrance.
17:17I'd tried submerging my head, and I could last hours now before I heard him coming back.
17:21If I could just get the shackles off, I could escape.
17:24Today, he returned dragging only a small grouper, but his black gold tail bore a long gash.
17:29Iridescent scales fell away with every movement.
17:31He was injured.
17:32He didn't even have the strength to shift into legs.
17:37He just lay down and closed his eyes.
17:39I walked over and checked his breathing.
17:44Too bad I didn't die.
17:46You must be so disappointed.
17:48Obviously.
17:49I wish you'd drop dead.
17:51What happened to you?
17:53A pot of orcas.
17:55About 30 of them.
17:57Tried to take my territory.
18:00I won, of course.
18:01Just a scratch.
18:05Orcas.
18:06The ocean's roaming thugs.
18:0730 of them.
18:08And he won.
18:09I died a little inside.
18:11I truly provoked something terrifying.
18:13I kicked the grouper he brought into the water.
18:16I don't want grouper.
18:17I want salmon.
18:20Tomorrow?
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.
18:29Tomorrow?
18:30I want it today, you useless fish who can't even land a mate.
18:33Either let me go or go catch some right now.
18:36He hauled himself up and swam back out through the entrance.
18:39After a long while, he returned with several salmon.
18:42The wound on his tail had turned white and waterlogged from the salt.
18:45Actually, I don't want salmon anymore.
18:47Too rich.
18:48I want something lighter.
18:50Sea bream.
18:50He dragged himself back out to catch sea bream.
18:53He brought the bream back.
18:54Before I could say another word, he collapsed.
18:57With his eyes closed, he looked completely harmless.
19:01The wound had gone raw from the seawater.
19:03I cleaned it.
19:04I sat beside him and closed my own eyes.
19:07I should hate him.
19:10I was floating in the ocean, but I knew I was dreaming.
19:13I turned back into a child.
19:15I saw another child about my age.
19:17Was I dreaming?
19:18I reached out to him.
19:20Please, help me.
19:21He swam toward me, and I saw that his lower half was a slender tail, a mare.
19:25He rescued me, set me on a reef, and caught food for me.
19:28A good myrrh.
19:29I wanted him to take me somewhere with people.
19:31I want to go home.
19:32My parents would be worried.
19:33But he couldn't understand me, so I taught him to speak, word by word.
19:37He was smart.
19:38In just over ten days, we could communicate.
19:41I learned he wasn't a myrrh.
19:42He was a siren.
19:43Sirens were solitary.
19:45The unchallenged apex predators of the deep.
19:47Sirens never raised their young.
19:49From the moment a hatchling broke free of its egg, it faced the dangerous ocean alone.
19:53Only those who survived earned the name siren.
19:55I was very innocent as a child.
19:57Innocent in that way only children can be.
19:59The kind that cuts.
20:00So you don't have family or friends?
20:03You've always been alone?
20:04Not even a fish friend?
20:06Don't you get lonely?
20:09What's lonely?
20:12Lonely is when there's no one to play with you.
20:14No one to talk to.
20:15No one who misses you.
20:17I didn't know what lonely was before.
20:20So I wasn't lonely.
20:23Now I will be.
20:25I'm sorry.
20:26After I go home-
20:27I'll come back every summer to play with you.
20:29I'll talk to you.
20:30And I'll miss you.
20:32Let's make a pinky promise.
20:33I swear.
20:34He copied my gesture solemnly, extending his little finger, careful not to nick me with
20:38his sharp oz and hooked it around mine.
20:40Cross your heart.
20:41We're best friends.
20:43I'll never forget you.
20:45Best friends.
20:46I'd planned to stay a few more days before having him take me home.
20:49But the sea wind and the monotonous diet made me sick.
20:52A fever set in.
20:53Everything blurred.
20:54His face went white.
20:55It's my fault.
20:56You don't belong in the sea.
20:58I'll take you somewhere with humans.
21:00They'll help you.
21:01He carried me on his thin back, racing through the ocean, trying to keep the waves from soaking
21:05my hair.
21:07When I'm better, I'll come back for you.
21:11Isla.
21:13I'll wait.
21:14He slipped back into the water.
21:15And only after people found me and carried me away did that small shape in the distance
21:19finally disappear.
21:21But I never kept my promise.
21:23I forgot all of it.
21:26If I hadn't been reassigned to my professor years later, I might never have returned to
21:30Thalassa in my life.
21:32And Opal had come to Emerald Atoll not for the merfolk.
21:35For me.
21:36And what had I done?
21:38I'd made him think I was courting him.
21:40He accepted.
21:41I ran.
21:43He thought I'd betrayed him twice.
21:44In his fury, he took me.
21:48Liar.
21:49I hated you.
21:51You are a monster.
21:53I'd never be with you.
21:54Sirens heal with terrifying speed.
21:56Within hours, the vicious wound had closed.
21:58Opal opened his eyes and saw me still obediently shackled.
22:01Only then did he relax.
22:02Opal, you're awake.
22:04Does anything still hurt?
22:06Even if you've changed tactics and you're trying to soft me up, I won't let you go.
22:10Opal, you're awake.
22:12Does anything still hurt?
22:13Even if you've changed tactics and you're trying to soft me up, I won't let you go.
22:17I'd forgotten our promise.
22:19Everything on Emerald Atoll had been a misunderstanding.
22:22Liar.
22:24Don't think saying that will make me release you.
22:26My goal now wasn't escape.
22:27It was to comfort this poor fish who'd been let down for over a decade.
22:30I don't want to leave anymore.
22:32I'll stay here with you.
22:35Then you'll be my mate.
22:37Soon, here, we'll be growing an egg.
22:40Didn't you want to study my offspring?
22:42Isla, why not carry them yourself?
22:44I'm a human, you know?
22:46You swallowed my pearl.
22:48Your body has already been altered to carry Siren Young.
22:53Honestly, I wasn't entirely opposed to him.
22:55Interspecies marriage laws between beast folk and humans had already passed.
22:59Plenty of humans were into it.
23:00But carrying an egg was beyond anything I'd mentally prepared for.
23:03Can we just date first?
23:06A purely platonic relationship?
23:08I explained what platonic meant.
23:10He 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.
23:20All bark, no bite.
23:21But impossible to convince.
23:23While Opal was out hunting,
23:25I dove into the water at the cave entrance
23:27and discovered small bioluminescent fish.
23:30I caught a few and snacked on them.
23:32When 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.
23:44Merfish eat those during mating.
23:46You ate them?
23:46How was there something like that just swimming around?
23:48Humans really had studied this planet nowhere near enough.
23:51It kept getting worse.
23:52My face was burning.
23:53And not just from the effect.
23:55I couldn't believe I was about to say this.
23:57I reached out to Opal.
23:58Can you...
24:00Help me, Opal, please?
24:02He just stood there,
24:04looking like a kicked puppy despite being a creature that could kill 30 orcas.
24:07You always do this.
24:08You asked me first, then you took it back.
24:11Every single time.
24:12I pulled him closer by the wrist.
24:14I like you.
24:15I want you.
24:16Now, you really have to help me.
24:18I need you.
24:19He didn't move.
24:20His eyes were fixed on me, wounded and wary.
24:23You're begging me now,
24:25but tomorrow you'll hate me again.
24:27I don't believe you.
24:28Those green eyes looked so lost,
24:29like he was already bracing for me to disappear.
24:31So I kissed him first.
24:33He froze.
24:34Then his arms came around me so tight I thought my ribs would crack.
24:37He was gentle at first, trembling even.
24:40Like he was afraid I'd break.
24:42Then not.
24:43By the end I was breathless,
24:45clinging to him,
24:46telling him that was enough.
24:47I couldn't take any more.
24:48He didn't stop until my body gave out completely.
24:53The next morning, clear-headed,
24:54I processed the fact that I'd slept with a fish.
24:56It had actually felt pretty good.
24:58I might genuinely be in love with Opal.
25:00When 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.
25:07I'd been on the bottom,
25:08but I knew full well who'd been forcing whom.
25:10You must despise me.
25:11I've unlocked your chains.
25:13You can use this knife to fierce my heart,
25:15then leave this place forever.
25:16Go back to the human world.
25:18And then what?
25:19He'd dissolve into sea foam?
25:20He was pure-hearted and soft underneath it all,
25:22playing at being a captor
25:24when he didn't have the constitution for it.
25:25I really like you.
25:27If you don't believe me,
25:29let's do it again.
25:30So we did.
25:31Many, many times.
25:32In the cave at the bottom of the sea.
25:34But he still didn't believe me.
25:37There's no way.
25:38I think that the-
25:38I don't believe me.
25:38No.
25:39When Opal
25:39The Woop
25:39I think that the way
25:39What was it even,
25:39I don't believe me.
25:39I love how you're doing.
