SHORT SUMMARY: Rafayel gifts MC a special perfume and, through a dream involving another life, they navigate his desire to become human, with the process demanding great sacrifices, deepening their bond and revealing their intertwined fates.

TIMELINE NOTES: Rafayel was worried after 1 day of no contact, showing closeness. Sings to her, comforts her. Still has connection to Perfume Collab (Your Fragrance and Dangerously Close), so I think it’s a trilogy.

Rafayel sends MC an exclusive perfume called Enchanted Sea at Night, a gift from their fragrance collaboration as a token of gratitude for being his plus one. The bottle, adorned with mermaid art, reminds MC of a previous fragrance, and when she sprays it on herself, she dreams of him. In her dream, a red and blue fish speak to her, calling her the Witch of the Deep Sea and giving her a cloak. Rafayel appears, asking for a magical potion to become human, revealing that he’s fallen for a human, which is a curse in their world. Red and Blue warn of the heavy price of becoming human, telling her it will take 100 days to gather ingredients, including three precious items from the sea. Rafayel promises to get them for her. Thirty days later, he returns, pale but determined, sharing the ingredients he’s obtained, including a shimmering scale, his everlasting blood, and a conch containing a melody that resonates like the tide. MC agrees to brew the potion, but Rafayel faints from the blood loss. She saves him using potions, and he thanks her, calling her kind, though she insists she's an "evil" witch. He counters by calling her beautiful and kind-hearted. As they grow closer, Rafayel serenades her with a melody that his "beloved" once adored, but MC is conflicted, worried about his mortality. On the night of the full moon, MC completes the potion, but Rafayel refuses to be taken to the human city, preferring the spot where they are. After he drinks part of the potion, the scent of the perfume fills the air, and Rafayel reveals that the most potent magic doesn’t always need to be consumed to work. He reassures her with a tender speech, reminding her of their shared past and urging her to embrace who she truly is. As she remembers, he begins to fade. She wakes up, holding his arm, and he reassures her that it was just a dream, though MC is unsure of what’s real.
