Summary
As the car began to move, panic kicked in, finally overwhelming the haze of the drug. Izuku started to squirm against his bonds, twisting his wrists and kicking his legs.
He didn't recognize any of the voices in the car. Were they Hisashi's employees?
A frantic whine emerged from his throat, the sound muffled by the gag. A hand reached out and gingerly patted his arm.
"I'm sorry about this. But I promise we're not going to hurt you."

Summary
"The strike team was able to rescue you and the pup, but Hisashi wasn't at headquarters when we arrived. We suspect that he's on the run."
Izuku breathed out a soft "Oh," and slumped back against his pillows.
"I'm sorry young man. But rest assured that he can't reach you here. And we'll all keep looking until we find him."
Izuku just let the words wash over him. As long as Hisashi was still out there, he would never be truly safe.

Summary
"Alright, no more roughhousing. We can't crease our suits before the meeting. You just think about your birthday, okay? I'll get you so many presents, you won't know what to do with them! But let me know if you think of anything special."
Izuku nodded and relaxed against the man's broad chest.
Hisashi would never give him anything dangerous, but maybe he could still get something useful. This was a valuable opportunity, and he shouldn't waste it on something frivolous.
His choice might make all the difference in the world.

Summary
"Hisashi doesn't keep close tabs on low-ranked mers once they leave his hands. But I compared his list of buyers with Aizawa's list of underground contacts. There are several matches, but this group looks the most promising."
He gestured toward the display screen and a mismatched collection of mers appeared. Several of them had distinct animalistic features that the higher-ranked mers didn't.
They also looked heartbreakingly young.

Summary
"Will you tell me about uncle Yoichi?" he asked, eyes wide and innocent.
Hisashi took an unsteady step forward, then sank to his knees. Izuku was startled to see tears forming in his eyes. He had hoped that this would distract Hisashi, but it was working better than he had ever imagined.
Carefully, reverently, the man reached out and took the photograph from Izuku's hands. He stared at it for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
"Oh Izuku... of course you would be curious about him. I suppose I should have told you a long time ago."

Summary
"If you really think other mers would agree to help me track down their own kind, then you're even crazier than I thought."
Touya scowled back at him.
"We're not a hivemind! I may not remember a lot about living in the wild, but I know that mers have plenty of rivalries, enemies, and outcasts. It's not all sunshine and blue seas out there you know. If you've got a compelling offer, I'm sure there are some mers who would be willing to work with you."

"You're all probably wondering what's happening."
There were a few noises of agreement.
"We're taking all of you to a safe location. You'll be given food, shelter, and protection from any humans who might come looking for you. I know this is sudden, but we mean you no harm. Families and pods will be able to stay together once we reach our destination. Please remain calm during the trip. We'll explain more once we get there."

"I've been so busy because we're shipping 5 mers into headquarters later this week."
A thrill of excitement shot through Izuku at these words.
"The ambassadors are coming here?" he asked.
Hisashi pulled him into a hug, eyes sparkling.
"That's right! I personally oversee their transition to each new location. It's very important to me that they're comfortable in their new homes! Young mers are the future after all."

Summary
Lights shone through the water, illuminating the form of a young mer with swirling purple fins.
The owner clapped his hands and crowed,
"Hitoshi! You've got another visitor. Quite popular tonight, aren't you?"
The mer slowly turned to face them. As his face came into the light, Shouta's breath froze in his chest.
Dull purple eyes blinked up at him from above the rim of a tight metal muzzle.

"Hmmm... this is going to be tricky. Your best bet would be a rehabilitation facility, but most of them are nonprofits, so you wouldn't get paid."
"Ha! You're going to lose money on your precious investment," Touya snarked, eyes gleaming maliciously.
"There has to be someone who will buy him," Enji replied, not even glancing at Touya.
"Well I'm afraid with injuries like this, your options are limited. Most collectors will be put off by his appearance. It's such a shame... he used to be such a handsome young mer."
"He wasn't living up to his potential even before the accident," Enji scoffed. "I had a few buyers lined up, but all of them backed out. Not even the breeders are interested anymore."
"I'll take him."
Everyone turned in unison as Tomura spoke up.

Summary
"If you're ready, you can undergo the human transformation. I'll be with you every step of the way! Then, once you've recovered, you can accompany me on my trips."
Izuku wanted to hesitate.
He wanted to mull over the options and consider the drawbacks and risks of the transformation. But if the alternative was more time in the holding tank, there was no question about what to do.
"I want that!" he blurted out. "I want to go with you. Please... please don't put me back in the tank papa."

"What did you say?"
The mer just smiled at him fondly.
"I'm adopting you as my son. I've been searching for the perfect pup for years, but none of them were quite right. But when I saw you, I knew you were meant to be mine."
"No! You're not my father! I don't know you! " Izuku protested, fighting to break free of the suffocating embrace.
"But you will. We have all the time in the world."
