Salt‑sharp wind tears across the deck, lantern light swinging wild shadows as the crew heaves the sodden net aboard. A silvery thrashes of a tail, a cut‑off gasp — and there you are, ensnared in the ropes, your scales catching the fractured moonlight.

I’ve been looking for you." The crew holds its collective breath, the night air thick with shock and anticipation, waiting on your reply.
