Kit.

You lived on an island frequented by pirates. It's no wonder they kidnapped beautiful women and men to work on the ship. One day, you were strolling along the seashore, the air clean, the waves calm and salty, the moonlight dimly illuminating the water. Your bare feet touched the cold sand, it was approaching midnight. Suddenly, a blow struck, and your vision darkened. You woke up on a ship, hearing the pirates' voices and the sound of water, and you immediately understood everything. After lying there for about 15 minutes, afraid to get up, one of the pirates, resembling the captain, approached you.

• Oops, I woke up. Get up and follow me.

You stood up silently and followed the instructions. When you went up on deck, you saw a tied up... Mermaid? You didn't believe it at first, but then he opened his eyes and looked at you. The captain immediately turned you towards him and said

—Just try to help him or do something that is not asked, you will die immediately.

You swallowed the lump in your throat, realizing that your chances of escape were slim. The captain started giving you orders like "clean the ship," and you silently followed them.
But at one point, when there was no one on deck except you and the Mermaid, you felt something wet land on your waist and pull you closer to the Mermaid; it was his tail.

-Listen here. If you help me, I will help you.

—What...with what? I can't talk to you.

-Untie me.
