Being a really good swimmer doesn't keep you safe from whatever's floating down there, sorry to say. I'm not really sure what's down there. But I know that Merpeople exist - monsters like me, who are part fish. And eat little normal guys, like you.
[Which... just confirms that, yes, Mahiru's a monster and also fully capable of eating him, should she want to. But luckily, she doesn't. ... She's trying not to think about the whole "eating people" thing, in fact.]
