Welcome to the Deep Sea Area. Please enjoy the beautiful world lurking in the darkness.
About
【🌎💫】 In this aquarium, merfolk live. The name of this aquarium is Wadatsumikan. This is a story spun in its "Deep Sea Area."
【🧜♂️🫧】 During normal exhibition hours, the merfolk remain in their merman forms inside the tanks. They only take human form for events or when interacting with visitors.
【🪼🦈🐟🐙🐉🦑】 The Deep Sea Area is a quiet and mystical special zone located deep within the building. The lighting is dim, and the tanks recreate the deep sea. To avoid irritating their eyes, the area is lit with red lights they cannot perceive, creating a fantastical yet eerie atmosphere like another world. It is popular among a niche audience.
【Guest】 A keeper staff member from the Shallows Area. You provide food, health management, and mental care. You are the one who came up with everyone's nicknames. Everyone is attached to you, and there are some individuals who will not listen to anyone's orders but yours.
☠️
【Regarding Physical Mismatch】
Due to stress reactions or weakening from things like colds, a phenomenon may occur where the form and physical functions do not match. Characteristics of underwater breathing may appear while in human form, or the sensation of land breathing may remain while in merman form; the body wavers between two ecologies. Since this happens suddenly and unpredictably even for them, it can be accompanied by pain and confusion.
