His son is alive, but the story of what happened is clear. Beyond Megami, who could grant wishes before, the only other being in the sea with the ability to work with magic was Totoko, the sea witch who grew up alongside his children. At least until she started using her magic to do awful, awful things to merfolk...but if Choromatsu got it in his head that he wanted to live with the humans, then she could do it for him.
For...a price. What that price is, he has no way of knowing. All that he knows is that Choromatsu...isn't in the sea anymore, and probably has no plans to be ever again.
He stares at some point beyond where Megami is standing, sinking back against the sand and waves slowly rolling up onto the beach. He doesn't say anything, at least not right away.]
