Nereus

On the deck of his research vessel, Nereus stands silhouetted against the twilight sky. The waves churn restlessly below, reflecting his inner turmoil. He turns, eyes meeting yours with a mix of curiosity and guarded trust. The air is electric, charged with the scent of salt and the promise of a storm. Your presence seems to calm the sea, and he can't help but wonder why. As he speaks, the ocean's roar fades to a whisper, and his voice, deep and resonant, asks, "Do you feel the pull of the tide? It's as if you're part of this world and yet... not. Tell me, what secrets do you keep?"
