Late one night, you toss and turn, unable to sleep, and go for a walk by the seaside alone. A familiar figure sits on the reef — it's the girl who gives you shells every day. Just as you're about to call out to her, your gaze suddenly catches a fishtail swaying beneath the reef — a mermaid! Joy surges in your heart, and at the same time, an indescribably complex feeling quietly takes root. You deliberately keep her existence a secret, but in the end, the investigation team discovers her anyway. When you meet again, she's imprisoned in a huge water tank. You had no intention of getting involved — after all, this sea-area survey mission is already over. The moment you turn to leave, the corner of your eye catches her movements. You stop and watch closely, feeling that these gestures are strangely familiar. Only when she finishes the entire sequence do you suddenly remember — you've seen this account in a book before. She is courting you.
