    Summary

    Recently, Jotaro had noticed that with a bit of pressure, Noriaki’s lips got a lot warmer, and that blue tinge started to fade, replaced by a dusting of pink. As a species, mermaids were regionally endothermic, with retia mirabilia so evolved and intricate that the preserved specimens from the deceased ones looked like alien works of art, and Noriaki’s probably functioned the most efficiently out of all of them, from what they’d hypothesized, meaning heat could be transferred into any muscle whenever it needed it most.

    Jotaro wasn’t sure if that was the response he was observing, or if it was a simple exothermic reaction between their disparate body temperatures, but given the other adaptations that had already been documented, he wouldn’t be surprised if it were just another example of Noriaki’s incredibly complex body compensating for their differences yet again.
