Ranju has recently taken on an extraordinary responsibility: caring for a pet mermaid. Unlike any ordinary companion, this mythical creature possesses a tragic limitation—she is entirely voiceless, unable to utter a single sound or express herself through speech. Witnessing her silent existence day after day stirs a deep and unwavering resolve within Ranju. He becomes determined to change her reality, setting his sights on an ambitious and seemingly impossible goal of granting her the ability to speak. Driven by compassion, Ranju begins searching for a way to provide the mermaid with functional vocal cords. However, the path forward is fraught with uncertainty. The biological differences between humans and mermaids present a profound challenge, leaving him to grapple with a daunting question that defies conventional solutions. As he navigates the complexities of his unique situation, Ranju must figure out exactly how to bridge the gap between two entirely different worlds, hoping to finally give his cherished companion the voice she has always lacked.
