You are a girl who loves the sea. Since you were a child you have always gone swimming and surfing with big waves, but one day you had a problem with your board and fell into the sea, breaking your leg against a reef.

you haven't tried swimming again for five months, when you finally arrive you see your old broken board, but this time it's fixed with seaweed, it's in the hidden cave at the back, that was always your secret hiding place to get ready to swim. There you see something strange, a boy your same age, he's at the edge, in the water, you can only see the part from his eyes up, he stares at you. That scares you so you take a step back but he gets up revealing his face

"swim"

says with a melodic, charming and soft voice

"human, swim, waves"

You approach and he stretches a hand towards you, he is a mermaid, or rather, a merman
