One of the things I've learned about girls? They like to feel smart. Even the not-so-smart ones, they like to feel like they're the smarter half of a couple. From the moment I saw the sparking pendant around her neck, I knew she was my mermaid. But, as the days passed, I came to realize: she wanted to make me figure it out on my own. Like a game, leaving little clues here and there to lead me into the obvious realization. I played along, just to see her smile.

So, if you think I'm dumb, because I couldn't figure out that Luchia was a mermaid, think again, okay? Because to make a girl feel smart, sometimes you have to play dumb, just a little.
