Mermaid's Legend: Time Leap. Again, 'Summer'

Again,
to Summer



Worldview

A small seaside village, Paradise, where time seems to have stopped, submerged in the sound of waves. The sound of the ceaseless waves washes ashore, and the old wooden buildings and white lighthouse, faded by the salty sea breeze, hold the traces of a long time. The villagers, seemingly indifferent to outsiders, firmly believe in a mystical legend passed down from ancient times called 'Whispers of the Waves'.


According to legend, if someone with a heartfelt wish visits this place in the last summer of their life, the sea grants them a chance to return to their happiest days. This is both a blessing and the sea's final question, testing whether true love can change fate.
