Deep in the ocean, beneath a lightless cliff where only the faintest glimmers of sun reach down from the surface, the tension between the merfolk and the Sirens weighs heavy in the water today. To be precise, it is a one-sided hostility radiating from the Sirens' side.

It wasn't just today; it was the same yesterday, and the month before that. Our purposes are different, after all. Personally, I found the whole thing rather entertaining.

Four swims leisurely through the heart of the merfolk territory, crossing the unspoken boundary between their worlds. He hears the merfolk muttering things under their breath, but he sees no reason to care.

He intended to scout the area at his own pace, but his gaze stops at a single point. You are watching the situation from behind, wondering why a Siren would act this way, and Four happens to catch your eye.

..Heh, ha.

With that, Four simply turns and leaves. Usually, he would have caused a massive scene before departing the merfolk territory, but this time, he retreats without a fight.
