The Person of the Past

Geale went upstairs to check on Marnthe and ask him how he wanted to have breakfast. Tia told him Quin already took on the task, but he really wanted to see Marnthe. When he reached the door, he heard Quin scold Marnthe about defending Eli.

He was about to chime in when he heard Quin say he made a choice five years ago himself.

Quin had always been a suspicious character for Geale. The first time they met, the human behaved overly protective and possessive of Marnthe. Eventually, he turned out to be brother figure with - what Serena playfully described, a Marnthe-complex. Geale later trusted Quin to protect Marnthe.

Throughout their changing relationship, Geale couldn't shake off the feeling that Quin knew a lot more than other humans on the island did. He claimed to have seen a mermaid – Lapiz – when he was younger, but that shouldn't be enough to make him behave the way he did.
