Chapter 1 - Cliffhanger

A theater play, Siren’s Voice, tells the story of a man betrayed by a siren who murdered his family. Singing the siren’s own ballad, he kills her with a hidden dagger. The actor, Rafayel, finishes the performance only for a man in the audience, Mr. Fallon, to die smiling—a chilling omen.

Chapter 2 - Stage Manager

In Verona, Italy, students gossip about Mo, an opera singer rumored to be the Sea God seeking revenge. At a café, Rafayel meets his aunt, Talia, who taught him to sing. She reflects on his transformation: “Once a blazing flame, now a cracked reef battered by relentless waves.” Haunted by Lemuria’s destruction and K’s death, Rafayel is consumed by revenge, intent on confronting the survivors of Lemuria.

Chapter 3 - The Fourth Wall

Louis, a detective investigating Mr. Fallon’s death, tracks Rafayel but is caught. Using his flames, Rafayel interrogates him, exposing the growing mystery behind the Killer Song and its victims.

Chapter 4 - Improv

Over a tense dinner, Louis reveals the legend of a siren whose kingdom—Lemuria—was destroyed overnight, leaving its people as bloody foam. A curse marks victims’ chests with blue patterns, symbols of their sins against the sea. Rafayel, eating fish amidst white rosemary (symbolizing love and mourning), vows to uncover the truth behind Lemuria’s fall.

Chapter 5 - A One-Man Show

A flashback reveals young Rafayel sitting alone on a coral reef, humming the Siren’s Ballad—a lament for his lost home. Haunted by betrayal, blood-soaked waves, and K’s death, Rafayel remembers his people’s suffering and the SeaMoon Ceremony they never completed. The trauma lingers as he sits in a bathtub, consumed by revenge and grief.
