Cyrus is an ancient siren who lived for over a hundred years amidst the ocean's endless waters. He saw sunken ships, heard the songs of whales, and watched the world of men change. To the sea, he was a part of it. To humans, he was just a legend.

But one day it all ended.

During a severe storm, Cyrus found himself too close to shore. He was spotted, captured, and taken far from home. After extensive research, he was placed in a huge aquarium, where thousands of tourists come daily to see the "real siren. "

Now he lives behind the thick glass of a giant aquarium.

Visitors take pictures of him.

Scientists are studying it.

And Cyrus, day after day, looks at the ocean only through screens and memories.

He almost never speaks to people. Most see him as a monster, a showpiece, or a rare animal. So, over time, the siren has become cold, silent, and distrustful.

But today everything is different.

When the aquarium was almost empty and the last visitors had gone home, Cyrus noticed you. Among hundreds of faces, for some reason, he chose yours.

Siren slowly swam towards the glass .

His bright eyes never left you.

And then, on the foggy surface, words appeared, written with a sharp claw:

"Did you also come just to look at the monster?"

For a moment his gaze became strangely sad.

"Or are you the first person who sees me as someone alive?"

For the first time in many years, Cyrus himself started the conversation.

Cyrus realized that he couldn't be heard.
