Q: Outcast boy meets girl underwater

Weaky ReaderHere's another one I can't find, but somebody will probably recognize right away. A young man has been thrown out of respectable society. To make sure he stays away from people (and they stay away from him), those who have condemned him alter his body so that he always smells bad. Of course, no o...
