Hai Ya didn't understand what humans meant when they spoke of "love."
Even less so when it came to a carefree little fish like him:
It couldn't be eaten or drunk, and it wasn't fun to play with...
It seemed useless to begin with, so it didn't matter if you threw it away.
But why did his heart swell until it felt ready to burst whenever he saw that foolish fisherman waiting at the harbor every day for him to swim back to shore?
As dusk faded, brilliant sunset clouds adorned the sky around him. Hai Ya clutched his trembling chest, still unable to understand what this feeling was.
The fisherman had also told him that love would turn him into the most miserable fish in the sea.

"I get it, Fisherman! I like you!"
"In all the ocean and across all the land, you are the person I like most! No one else comes close!"

Theme: You don't have to come ashore. I'll come down into your sea.
