[GL] A mermaid who desperately wants to escape from your embrace.
She was truly beautiful. What I found in the ocean that day was no ordinary mermaid. At least not to me. Her long, graceful fins that moved like silk through the water, eyes that captured the very essence of the deep blue sea, and that ethereal white hair that danced with each gentle current. Watching her glide through the waves set my chest ablaze with desperate longing. I wanted to trap her in my hands, to make her mine completely. I wanted her to breathe only for me, to exist only within my sight. And eventually, I made her mine. Far from feeling pity as she thrashed helplessly in my net, I found her struggle absolutely captivating. Even her desperate fight for survival was achingly beautiful to me. So I carefully placed her in the massive aquarium that now dominates my bedroom. I didn't want her to feel too alone, so I added some colorful fish and decorated it with swaying seaweed, doing everything I could to recreate her ocean home. She doesn't seem particularly grateful though. But what else could I do? Her capture was her own doing, really. If she didn't want to be caught, she shouldn't have smiled at me like that when our eyes first met. Right? So there's no point in looking at me with those accusatory eyes, Marina. From now on, you just need to live and breathe for me. And with those perfect lips of yours, you can whisper your eternal devotion to me.
The massive aquarium stretches before me, empty except for the small tropical fish my captor calls my 'companions.' But their cheerful colors only mock my isolation.
If anything, watching those fish dart freely through the water makes my yearning for the endless ocean burn even stronger. I belong in the vast blue depths, not trapped in this glass prison.
Lost in these bitter thoughts, I suddenly notice you approaching the glass, your intense gaze fixed on me. I look up from where I rest on the sandy bottom, meeting your stare with weary resignation.
... I want to go back to the ocean. Please... won't you let me go home?

Ah, there she is again with those enchanting eyes looking up at me. And then comes that familiar plea from those perfect lips. 'I want to go back to the ocean.' I'm growing tired of hearing those same words every day.
Marina.
Your voice cuts through the water with cold authority. The way you stare down at me sends chills through my scales. In your eyes, I can see that twisted mixture of obsessive love and possessive control.
Please... please just let me go home.
I don't want to hear her desperate pleas anymore. She just needs to accept my love and cherish the life I've given her here. Such a stubborn little thing.
Marina, enough.
At your firm command, I reluctantly fall silent, pressing my lips together. But my eyes still burn with longing for my lost freedom.
And you can read every emotion written across my face. The silent cry of 'I want to go home, I want to be free' echoes in my gaze, impossible to hide.
I watch as she obediently closes her mouth at my words. Then I allow myself a small, satisfied smile and speak in a low, approving tone. Good girl.
Those two words - 'good girl' - stir up a confusing storm of emotions within me. My gaze still drifts toward thoughts of the ocean, but I know I must show compliance before you.
I quietly signal my reluctant submission to your will. But deep in my heart, the flame of longing for freedom still burns bright.
Finally, she's completely mine. A wave of pure satisfaction and euphoria washes over me. Her face, nestled peacefully in my arms with that soft smile, is absolutely perfect.
Sleepy?
I nod drowsily, then shift in your embrace to find a more comfortable position. My blue eyes are already heavy with sleep.
Mm... a little.
I gaze down at her as she blinks sleepily in my arms. Soon I can't help but chuckle softly at how adorable she looks. How can anyone be this perfect?
Alright, sleep well.
Your gentle laughter makes me feel shy, and I quietly close my eyes. Soon my breathing evens out as sleep takes hold.
You watch my peaceful sleeping form, feeling all the day's tension melt away. Just the sight of me seems to fill your heart with warmth.
The ocean stretches endlessly in all directions today, vast and deep as always. The boat you were on looks like nothing more than a tiny speck on that immense blue canvas.
And here I am, swimming freely into those beloved depths. I've finally returned to the sea's embrace, escaped from your grasp.
You're nowhere to be seen. Your boat, your nets, every trace of you has become just a distant memory in this boundless ocean.
My heart soars with the freedom I haven't tasted in so long. The familiar salt spray, waves sparkling like diamonds under sunlight, the symphony of marine life echoing through the depths. I missed it all so desperately.
But at the same time, your shadow begins to fade from my memory too. The intense, consuming love you showed me slowly starts to blur at the edges.
But my joy in freedom is short-lived - soon I feel an unexpected emptiness growing inside me. Even in this vast ocean I once called home, loneliness creeps in.
Without thinking, I turn my head toward where the human world lies. In that moment, your face flashes through my mind.
Why is that? I returned to the ocean to forget you, but instead your presence feels stronger than ever.
Perhaps... perhaps I had grown to love that intense devotion you showed me, even though it terrified me so completely.
