The next day River was found seemingly washed on the closest beach. They were brought to the hospital.

When they regained consciousness they kept muttering "mermaids, mermaids". The doctors said it might be due to the concussion from when they hit the water.

An investigation was opened, but the boat couldn't be found and with a victim claiming to be hit by a mermaid after a school of fish had deliberately sank their ship, the investigation soon was classified vertically.

River was brought to a sanetaruim to recover, one far away from the ocean given that "those months of solitude must have caused the nervous breakdown".

With River locked up far away and the boat never recovered, the proof of the existence of mermaids had been lost forever.

But it's not because something can't be proven, that it isn't real.

"Hey, ArAr, you have saved me and all that. Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"Heck no! Go find yourself another human to stalk."

"What?!"
