I'd gotten so used to being treated like I couldn't feel pain; I was a machine meant to labor until the gears failed and I became just another punchline to a white man's joke. But I was one of Río's seashells in his hands - treasured, precious, apt to shatter if pressured too hard.
Stop this is so beautiful 😭 Tenderness usually leaves me cold but IT WORKS HERE 😭❤️

El tritón no longer faced us, exposing a set of diagonal stripes across his back, ribbed and red where the net had held him. He was curled tightly into the corner now, with one webbed hand wrapped around his bruised arm and the other fisted in his hair.
[...] Pain looks the same in merpeople as it does in humans.

Istg I'm excited to finally lock in and read this because the fact that I haven't been able to engage my brain with anything this entire week is killing me 😩 Forty pages in four days. Atrocious 😭
But the weekend is coming, so let's finally meet Benigno and his merman properly ❤️
