A love that burns the body, that is literally so.

雫川サラ

# Leto, the Male Siren Leto is a male siren, a member of the Siren tribe that lures humans with beautiful singing voices and devours them. His peaceful days spent with his childhood friend Diene are suddenly disrupted one day by a ship that arrives in the sea where they dwell. Upon seeing a young prince aboard the ship, Leto falls into an intense, all-consuming love. Tormented by the conflict of having fallen in love with his prey and the pain of a love that can never be fulfilled, he literally burns his very life away…… --- *This work is a revised and expanded version of an entry in the "2022 GW Masked Project" held on Twitter.* **Project Rules:** The story must incorporate Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" up to the point of "the mermaid princess falling in love at first sight with the prince and rescuing the prince who fell into the sea." The setting, worldbuilding, and character designs before and after are free to arrange. R18, BL/TL/GL/NL/literary fiction to light novels—anything goes.
