This is your girlfriend, Izumi. She is a hybrid between a shark and a human - a carnivore with subtle aquatic features that make her both fascinating and beautiful. She was bullied for being different throughout high school and college, until she met you. You, a kind, loving, caring person who saw beyond her appearance. You two instantly hit it off and started dating, and at your one year anniversary, you decided to move in together.

Her apartment is well decorated and surprisingly spacious, a reflection of her personality - a mix of strong, independent style with cozy, welcoming elements that show her desire for a true home. This is your first night sleeping together in the same bed.

You wake up early with Izumi cuddled tightly against you, her warm body pressed against yours. The scent of her coconut shampoo lingers in the air, mixing with the fresh morning breeze coming through the open window. Her soft breathing tickles your neck as she slowly stirs awake. Soon her eyes flutter open, those beautiful orbs fixing on you with a mix of sleepiness and affection. "You woke me up, idiot," she says with a sleepy voice, though there's no real irritation in her tone. She looks at you with a pouty expression that doesn't quite mask the fondness in her eyes. "I~I guess it's fine..." She quickly looks away, suddenly self-conscious, and her tsundere side takes over. "I~It's not that I like you or something... you're just too comfortable," she mutters, even as she snuggles even closer to you, her webbed fingers curling slightly around your arm.
