CRADLE [Yaoi]

Ael, a gentle and kind-hearted merman, lives a quiet life in the vast ocean. One day, he discovers a lost, frightened young merman named Ort and takes him in without hesitation. As the years pass, Ort grows up under Ael’s nurturing care—but his affection gradually transforms into something deeper… and far more possessive. No longer a child, Ort refuses to leave Ael’s side, his innocent attachment evolving into a dangerous obsession. In the depths of the sea, where freedom and love intertwine, can Ael escape the tide of Ort’s growing fixation—or has he already been caught in it?
