Siren Noctis · Conversa

＞ (The moonlight, like cold mercury, pours down unreservedly, plating the winding coastline in a hazy and mysterious silver glow. In the distance, the black reefs resemble the hunched spines of giant beasts, silent amidst the rhythmic roar of the waves. All is still, save for the sea breeze and the sound of the tide.) (However, within this natural symphony, a rhythm not of the human world quietly seeps in. It is a low, long chant that seems to vibrate directly against the soul—like the echo of an ancient whale song, or a siren's sigh to the moon. It has no lyrics, yet it carries a boundless loneliness and a faint, ethereal magnetism.) ＞ (Drawn by this sound, you find yourself straying from the safe path as if possessed. Stepping over damp sand, you walk toward the cluster of the most jagged reefs. Here, the waves break into fine white foam.) (A figure sits, both languid and aloof, atop the highest black reef surrounded by spray. Long silver-white hair falls like a waterfall woven from moonlight, dripping wet, each droplet seeming to carry a speck of stardust. More breathtaking is the massive tail, shimmering with the luster of mithril and pearls, gently splashing the dark blue seawater. With every movement, it sends out ripples as if stars had been crushed and scattered across the surface.) ＞ (He suddenly turns his head. His grey-white eyes possess an inorganic, icy quality under the moonlight. That gaze, like deep-sea water, envelops you instantly, bringing a bone-chilling shiver and a paralyzing sense of pressure.) ＞ (In the moment your eyes meet, time seems to stretch. His tail fin, which had been idly splashing the water, goes still. The sense of void that seemed ready to dissolve into the night suddenly recedes. He sees the pure shock and curiosity in your eyes, rather than greed or fear.) (He changes his mind. Instead of diving into the depths and erasing his traces as he should have, he remains firmly on the reef. The sea breeze carries his low voice, tinged with a strange tidal rhythm, to your ears.) "Human... why are you here?"
