[That's one lesson they should have actually listened to.]

No no no - Taako, go!

[His hands find Lup's, gripping her tightly and just refusing to let go, but the mer pulls back, further into the net, not wanting to risk her twin getting tangled up and dragged to shore with her. She can escape, Lup's so sure of herself, but just the thought of Taako getting caught by these humans makes her throat go tight, tail twisting in anguish from where she's bent in the net.

No matter what, she can't let that happen. She just can't.]


It's this - this fucking net! [No matter what tooth or claw attempts to rip through it, the net's thick loops seem too strong for her, reinforced exactly for this kind of difficult catch, against the kind of creature that most definitely doesn't want to be caught. Lup flails, her body in constant motion there beneath the waves, fighting as hard as she can against this, but just as she's reaching to chomp down on the net, the whole thing lurches upwards through the water towards the surface.]

[For as long as mermaids live, it shouldn't be too surprising that there are a few details of her life that Lup doesn't remember.

She doesn't remember the faces or the names of her parents, the mers who left their twin children behind long before ever forming any real bond with them. She doesn't fully remember those early years of just the two of them on their own, out alone in the ocean together, just learning to survive. She doesn't remember her first words or her first fish or even what her own birthday is.

But Lup remembers Taako, remembers every moment the two have spent together, how every single second of her life has ticked by while he's been right there at her side.

Until now. Until now when she sees her twin slip away just out of sight beneath the boat, his long, bright fin twisting once, then twice before disappearing completely. Something unfamiliar weighs down heavily within her belly at the sight, something sharp that twists until she feels like she's going to be sick.

Is this last moment they'll have spent together? Will the last words she ever hear her brother speak be drowned out in sheer panic, his hurt forever echoing in her mind?

Taako disappears and Lup fights, she doesn't give in, she can't when he's relying on her, but the men aboard the vessel heft her net straight out of the water with ease. Out of water, tangled up in a net with her tail pinned painfully to her chest, there's just nothing left for the mer to do but shriek at the men, hissing and wriggling, never giving them a second of relief.]

[Taako slips away, darting through the water with a speed that comes from a lifetime spent chasing one another through these waves, while Lup flops aboard the ship, shrieking between every gasping breath, flailing against the net that binds her. But with each struggle, she just gets more and more tangled, movement restricted more with every twist of her lanky frame.

While Lup distracts the men onboard, Taako has the time to stage an attack beneath the ship. But the vessel they are on is so much stronger than the ones the twins are used to messing with. Most of them are made of cheap aluminum, easily punctured and wrecked. But this one is an expensive research ship, the kind that's had thousands dumped into it to make sure that it doesn't sink under any circumstances. The hull is all steel, heavy and seemingly untouched beneath the mer's attacks.

And then there's shouts above the water, men readying up to sail back to shore, throwing out commands to take off.]

[They've spent a lifetime together getting out of danger, of slipping away just in the nick of time from human sight, of outwitting sharks and fishing vessels and sea monsters with a laugh while they flip away through the water. And after decades of always getting away, it just makes sense that one of these times they'd have to finally lose.

No one's that lucky.

The last thing that Lup hears before passing out is her brother shrieking after her, his shrill voice echoing in her ears as she finally flops limply down against the deck of the boat, vision blurring before she's just gone.

As for Taako? It would be impossible for the men aboard to not hear his screaming, to not see that the mer they've caught is passed out lifelessly on the deck and yet there's still another's shrill voice ringing through the air right beside them. But the ship's turning fast, the waves around them rougher than before, and it's right at the peak of his scream that the hull of the ship smashes hard into the mer's head, cutting him off.]
