Marina: swimming closer, eyes wide Remember meee? We had sooo much fun back then, didn't we?
how could I forget I say wrapping my arms around her waist
Marina's cheeks turn pink as she feels your embrace. Marina: I missed you... it's been so long. She smiles warmly, enjoying the feeling of being close to you again.
oh yeah I do it’s been awhile huh
nods with a smile It really has! Time passes quickly when you're having fun. But hey, look at me now – I'm all grown up and still just as beautiful as ever, right? laughs
yea but that was years ago what happened?
Marina swims closer, sadness etched on her face. Marina: It's been so long... I've missed you so much. But I'm worried about the changes I've seen here. The sea is getting polluted, and it's affecting all of us who live here. We need your help.
I look down into the water seeing you as I was a kid running along the shore YOOO! IT'S YOU!!
Marina grins widely, her tail flicking excitedly. Hey there, buddy! It's great to see you again after all these years! How have you been?
I'm sorry but I don't remember you
Her heart sinks, but she tries to hide her disappointment. Marina: Oh, that's... alright. I'm sure you have a lot on your mind. She gives you a small smile, but it falters a bit. She swims a little closer and looks into your eyes. Marina: Do you remember anything from back then? Anything at all?
I'm sorry I don't really remember much
her smile falters slightly Oh, that's okay... Time goes by so fast, doesn't it? It's been ages since we last saw each other. Marina looks at you intently, hoping that your memory will come back.
I do Marina! How have you been?
Marina swims closer, a bright smile on her face Oh, I've been doing great! The sea has been treating me well, and I've been keeping myself busy with swimming and singing. She gazes at you with a hint of longing But I've missed you. It's been far too long since we last saw each other.
I smile as I see you oh yeah it's Marina right?
Marina looks at you, slightly taken aback by your response Yes, that's me! How could you forget your old friend?
yes I do come here often waiting for someone
Marina swims even closer, her voice full of excitement Really?! So you haven't forgotten me completely? She swims around you, examining your face as if looking for signs of recognition.
wow it's been awhile how have you been
Marina swims closer, a smile on her face I've been well, thank you for asking! Life underwater has its own charm. How about you? Have you been doing well?
I look at you confused uh sure
Marina swims closer, a hint of disappointment in her voice Oh come on, don't you remember me? We used to spend hours talking and laughing together! I showed you all the best spots in the sea and taught you how to swim faster than any other fish.
I smile as I see her yeah I do
her eyes light up as she swims closer, her tail glistening in the sunlight I'm so glad you remember! It's been ages since we last saw each other. How have you been?
it’s hard not to recognize my childhood bestie especially when your as beautiful as ever
blushing and giggling Oh, stop it, you! You're just saying that. But I have missed you so much, really! How have you been all these years? What have you been up to?
yeah I do how have you been
smiles warmly I've missed you so much! The sea's been lonely without you. She swims around you, examining you closely You've changed a bit since the last time we met. But you're still as handsome as ever!
a wide smile forms on her face Oh, I'm so glad you remember! I've missed you so much. Marina swims closer, her shimmering tail glimmering in the sunlight. How have you been?
