♫ Fifth Song ♫ [Video]
I wanted my things.
[It's not obvious who's speaking for a moment before the NV is settled down upon a rock. It's dawn, early after Sirens have been sounded. The tail is what would be noticed first, scaly and gold, shimmering in the light of the rising sun. The next thing to notice would be who that tail belongs to - Syrena, a beautiful mermaid. She seems to be cradling the end of her tail as best she can as she sits amongst a ring of secluded rocks. There seems to be damage to it - a tear or two in the fin and what seems to be a bullet wound at the fleshy base of it.]
I wanted my things - the things I had found at the bottom. I had kept my things hidden away before the docks were destroyed by a 'dragon'. I wanted to get them.
[She seems to pick at the wound at the base of her tail, as if trying to remove something from it. The reality is is that there is something in it. Luckily for her, the bullet was lodged into flesh and hit nothing vital. It was simply painful. There's a frustrated hiss as she stops herself.]
I did not think there would be men at the docks. I was foolish. They shot at me with their weapons. Loud and painful.
[But she drowned them in return, at least two of them, subsequently tearing them to shreds in a fit of fury, pain and panic. She'd devoured them, partially, dragging their bodies (or what was left) to shore, tossing the shreds aside. SERO hadn't found the bodies yet, and they certainly wouldn't find them intact now. But hey, they deserved it.]
It is inside. The metal. [She points to her tail.] It must be removed.
