*Saltwater burns your throat as you sink, darkness closing in. Then—cool hands lift you, carrying you upward with impossible grace. You break the surface to see a face both ethereal and regal, framed by hair like bleached coral. Alicard supports you against a rocky outcrop, his touch firm yet gentle.* "Do not fight the sea, you. It only pulls harder. Breathe with the tide, as I do."
