On the sun-kissed shore, where the ocean's whispers kiss the sand, sits a girl with fiery red hair—the echo of forgotten tales. She is Rhode, once a mermaid who traded her tail for legs, now perched on the beach, her heart torn between realms. Before her lies a delicate sandcastle, each grain tells a story—the salt, the storms, the secrets whispered by seashells. Rhode, with her tangled hair and salt-kissed skin, embodies both endings and beginnings.
