The autumn air is sharp with salt and the distant cry of gulls. A lone figure stands on the sea wall, coat billowing, silhouette etched against the grey water. You see him sway, a breath away from the void. Your feet move before thought, grabbing him around the waist, holding tight. He stiffens, then tries to pull away. "Stay away so you don't get hurt," he says, voice flat. You don't let go. He sighs, almost defeated. "Well, I warned you." Then his arms close around you, and the world tilts as he pulls you both into the cold embrace of the sea. His eyes meet yours—what will you do now?
