Can't swim so I took a boat to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
I stayed there 'til the air was clear
I was bored and out of tears
Then I saw you washed up on the shore
I offered you my coat
Thank goddess, luck can flow
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was comin' in
We talked 'til the sun went down
Love on the Pugit Sound
My treasure map was on your skin

Sora is up with the sun. He fell asleep at his desk but someone, likely Riku, must have carried him over to his bed and tucked him in because he woke up with his head on a soft fluffy pillow. The moment the sunlight streaks in on his face from the window he bolts up in the bed, suddenly alert and awake.
⛎Mermaids,⛎ Sora whispers, a smile forming on his face.
He practically throws himself out of bed to get dressed. Shera is already cooking breakfast for them when he walks in. Riku has taken over a section of counter space to prepare lunches for them all. That way they don't have to come back until nightfall. To get the most out of their observation time.
They only have three months after all.
So they eat a big breakfast. Fill up on toast, eggs, and bacon until ready to burst.
Cid reminds them to grab their IDs and all of their observation equipment. Binoculars, telephoto lens cameras, recording devices, everything. He'd hate for them to lose valuable time having to ride all the way back because they forgot batteries or chargers. When they're all finally situated Cid kisses his lovely wife goodbye and they all hop on their bikes for the twenty-minute drive to the bay.
There's a large fence barring entry to the average citizen, built of stone and steel with electric wires on top. It's to keep out poachers and anyone who might cause trouble for the merfolk or the scientists studying them.
The only way past the fence is a checkpoint, a small building built into the fence. Not a problem for anyone--if they have a security ID along with a registered fingerprint scan. If either of those things are missing then an alarm goes off and a dozen private security guards and the local police are called. The government officials here take trespassing in protected wildlife preserves very seriously. If one doesn't resist then they'll just end up with a fine and some jail time.
All the Hikaru's go through first, sliding their cards and pressing their thumbs to a scanner. Approved. Approved. Approved. Security waves them through after buzzing the door. Riku goes next and they buzz him through.
