A Mermaid’s gotta ‘Cry’

The woman's eyes slowly fluttered open, and in her blurry vision, she could see two people standing not too far away from her.

She blinked a few times before her vision cleared up, and she finally got a good look at the people in front of her.

One was a silver-haired man with blue eyes, donning a pair of black trousers underneath a grey shirt and a long black overcoat.

Beside him, was a woman with similar hair colour, but her eyes were a mix of red and purple. She wore a long white-sleeved shirt, a purple tie, black pants and a pair of black flat shoes.

On closer inspection, she noticed there were others present besides her, just that they were unconscious. Her brow raised in light surprise when she saw that those faces were ones she recognized.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, the silver-haired man turned around and looked towards her, before speaking.

"Oh, you're finally awake."
