"For decades, the merpopulation has been unjustly tormented by the Arcanan Government-a ruthless machine that seeks to annihilate the entirety of the mer race and its culture."
"Arcana's government has already initiated its mer hunting system, capturing merpeople and utilizing them as experiment subjects for their own research, all while they actively impede mer information from reaching the public. This tactic is as old as time, allowing Arcana to spin a narrative akin to how a spider spins its web."
"Rather than exist in the properly-maintained lagoons, mer are expelled from Arcana and forced to dwell in the Phoenix Sea, which is being destroyed by Arcana's mass pollution into its waters."
By the time the sun has begun to set, Jisung's almost done with his newest read: the novel Minho assigned to him written by an anonymous figure under the pseudonym Lee Know.
The novel isn't that long, not even half as long as Dr. Kwon Lee's How to Not Break a Curse or Kang Seojin's Breaking a Curse.
But time after time, Jisung's had to pause with a boiling distaste spiking his bile and making his skin crawl with discomfort when hit with a particularly jarring line.
Lee Know is for sure, not a poet, but they write in a way that inflicts outlandish accusation after accusation on Arcana that seems so impossible, but is backed by layers and layers of logical reasoning that it's impossible not to believe their words.
Lee Know writes as if the mer issue is personal to them, rather than as an outsider looking in (respective to Dr. Kwon Lee or Kang Seojin's case). Their claims aren't buried in endless fluff or useless guides, but are direct, and come at you like a punch to the stomach.
Blow after blow, and Jisung's wondering why this book has never graced the shelf of a library. Why are its truths left unknown to a mer-fearing public?
This would...no...this could change so much.
Jisung is curled up in full diving gear at the edge of the lagoon, following Minho's instructions, and reading Minho's recommendation.
