Part 5/10:
Ben and Maddie's kindness towards the nameless woman soon leads them to christen her Ren. As Ren acclimates to her new environment, both chaos and connection unfold. The mermaid's instinct drives her behavior—stealing food, evading detection, and even dramatically displaying her fierce nature when confronted. Ben becomes increasingly aware of Ren's intelligence and the perils she faces as the military hunts for her.
