    Summary

    Fushiguro Megumi spent years in college becoming worthy of working at Tokyo Aquarium and Rehabilitation. The top Fin Folk rehabilitation center and Aquarium run by Getou Suguru. Megumi graduates as top of his class, despite the doubt humans cast upon his kind, and the rumors that he didn't earn his grades. Finally, he has landed his dream job, and that's all he cares about.

    But when a critically injured Merrow is rescued from poachers and brought to the facility, everything Megumi thought he understood about his work—and himself—begins to shift.

    ...
    The dorsal fin broke the surface first, a sleek, curved blade cutting through the water without a sound. For a heartbeat, that primal recognition of an apex predator made his heart race. The Merrow swam alongside him, matching his pace exactly.

    Megumi's steps slowed. The Merrow slowed with him.

    The Merow followed him all the way to the feeding platform, never breaking the surface fully, never making a sound. When Megumi finally reached the platform and knelt to prepare the feeding mechanism, the Merrow sank back into the depths. But he could still feel it down there, circling in the darkness.

    Waiting.
