Summary
Has Ivan ever played chess? No. Does he even know what chess is? Also no.
Somehow, though, he performs so many mental gymnastics everyday that he might as well be constantly playing 4D chess against himself. As Sua would say, Ivan ‘thinks a lot for someone who acts like he’s never had a thought in his life.’
…Then Ivan falls in love with Till. The chess playing becomes ten times more violent.
–
And so commences his master plan to make Till happy – a plan that happens to take 23+ years, a brief football career, taming a dragon using quantum physics, several war crimes, and very, very, very close brushes with death.

Summary
Till doesn’t even bother to look back to Ivan. He already knows that he’s staring at him, embedding every strand of silver into his memory. He hesitates for a moment, seeing his mother poke her head out of the water. She would see his bruised face and battered body, but it wouldn’t be any different from the other injuries he gained from any other day.
Yet he manages to sneak a peak at Ivan, who still lies on the sand with his hand over his chest and those pitch-black eyes that seem to always devour everything he sees.
“Goodbye… Ivan.” He purses his lips, “It was nice knowing you."
The sea swallows a silver mermaid, like how the night sky swallows silver stars.

Till is a mermaid that's on a mission to rescue his mother. Ivan is a Duke that's on a mission to make sure his first and only love stays this time.
