[ Velvet waits while Naomi considers the possibilities of a new arrangement, then is silent as the Sea Witch speaks of new terms. ]

So if the mermaid fails, she won't turn into seafoam but will return to the sea. Giving up her family forever yet remaining alive. Helping you brew potions as her new life.

[ It removes the part about the mermaid dying simply because a prince doesn't love her in return. Means giving up not just one love but two - yet all remaining alive. There are ways around not "returning" to the family. ]

And should she succeed in gaining his love? Will she regain her voice, will the pain end, will she be able to see her family?
