BOOOOOOOO THEY WEREN'T HOME

Just came back to say: I really, REALLY hope Eugene and Phyllis heard that lmao I cannot wait to see how breakfast is like. I'll be soooo disappointed if all the screaming and bed squeaking was ignored

First of all. HOLY fuck. The silver strand of hair?? "Shore-caller"?? Mates??????

"You smell of [Moon Harbor]." Wonder if Alba's dad (or mom?) was a merrow for the 2827373 time. The merrow being the spirits in the woods shocked me. Also wonder if Dawson (and him being sick) is relevant to all of that

"Come see why they did what they did to the blood you seek.” MMM PARDON ME?? ERIDANYS TO HER MOM?? WYMMMMM

...so. What the fuck

Edythe Marsh was scribbled and erased from the records of the town????? And there's only Alba's dad's name. My working theory rn is that "Edward Marsh" is actually his mom, a trans woman, and that's why they townspeople said they don't know anyone by the name Edythe

I was so caught up I forgot to update this.

HOLY SHIT??????

Eridanys already intrigues me so so much, and it's evident he's as desperate as Alba to find his missing family as he is if he's willing to make a deal and stick around. I wonder if the people of the town know what happened, and somehow want to protect the merfolk left (Eridanys in this case) so they don't want Alba to know??

And the tensionnnn 🫦

Alright, I'm loving Alba so far. Really living his anxiety and desperation to find his mom. When he was almost caught I couldn't breathe

Also trans rep!!! Yay!!!!

I have a feeling the Harbor Manager knows who he is, or maybe the hair gives him away?? Idk. And something's FOR SURE up with the town

ALSO HELLO CLIPPED HUMAN NAILS????? WHY??? HOW??

Chapter 1 and I'm already so fucking invested. Albatross is such a cool ass name???

I love how the pacing felt tense, kinda disconnected, up until Warren shows up. It really gets you into Alba's mind and feelings right away (also chronic pain rep!! Yay!!)

I wonder if the stories his mom told him about merpeople guarding his sleep and loving his hair color mean something
