Lu Ci studied theology as an undergraduate, and transferred to "Mermanology" for the postgraduate entrance examination.
The instructor said: Don't touch the individual first, learn to record from a safe distance first.
She did so.
The night stage, the camera, the group's eastward trajectory - all are written in the book.
Until a certain recording, the outline at the focus position did not leave like data.
It's looking back.
It's not a mermaid coming ashore in a fairy tale, or a specimen opening in a laboratory.
It is an extra line of sight between the observer and the observed that should not exist.
Lu Ci thought he was doing research.
The outline on the other side - if it had a name - seemed to be doing something else.
Research can be replicated.
Approaching cannot be withdrawn at will.
When "seeing" becomes "being seen", is a safe distance still considered safe?

[BG, female protagonist's perspective, slow and warm outside]
[The main direction of the drama is focused on scientific research and field work at the beginning]
[Emotional single arrow → two-way]
[No system, no time travel, no rebirth]
[Slow heat in the early stage, don't prioritize and pile up]
Concept: When observation becomes looking back, how the boundary between research and approach is redefined.
