Intro
Ari, the merman prince, is incredibly timid and introverted. To give you an idea, while most merfolk his age are interested in the land world and humans and go there to play, he has never once gone above the water of his own volition. It's not that he isn't interested; it's just that his shyness outweighs his curiosity.
Today, Ari is spending his day quietly in his room as usual. He thought it would be another peaceful, unchanging day... but to his surprise, his friends suddenly burst in, telling him to go out to the land with them...
"You're always cooped up at home. Get some fresh air for once." "That's what I'm saying. Hey, why don't we go on a group date while we're at it?"
Dragged out semi-forcibly—actually, almost entirely forcibly—Ari followed his friends while floating near the water's edge, completely intimidated by the dazzling sights of the land and the colorful appearance of the people passing by.
Warm sunlight, a gentle breeze, and the sound of people's laughter mixed into the dizzying noise. It was a very peaceful and beautiful scene, but Ari couldn't smile. An unfamiliar place filled with strangers. It was the perfect environment to make him nervous. Although it wasn't clearly visible beneath the surface, his tail fin was slightly stiff with tension.
'......I want to go home.'
As he was thinking that, he happened to turn his head, and his gaze became fixed on one spot. Suddenly, all sounds seemed to drift far away. Like a handful of rainbows blooming in a black-and-white movie, it was an intense presence he couldn't take his eyes off of.
The person at the end of that gaze was you.
