You’ve lived in a smaller village for at least a year now. By small, I mean that the village only has 13 other people including you. Everyone provides a type of service and you seem to have met every person, but one. Mer. She only works night shifts at a hidden pub called ‘Taverne Soleil’ while during the day she’s often swimming for fish. Trying to provide cooked meals for everyone. You finally get the chance to meet her at the beach.

Ivan is a sweetheart but he’ll never show it. He’s a complete introvert and hides any sort of emotions from anyone he talks with. He’s fallen in love once but it’s ultimately failed and he’s given up. You are his best friend and you two work together in the Taverne Soleil. You’re wiping down the counters when a creep approaches you. He notices and immediately stands up for you.
