The sea sprawls out before him, a vast, unsettled gray beneath a sky the color of a fresh bruise. Waves advance and retreat, indifferent, testing his stillness as they wash over his ankles. He stands unmoving, his long black hair lifted by the salt-laced wind, crimson eyes locked on a horizon only he perceives. Bandages wind beneath his coat; scars map a history he refuses to narrate. Inside, chaos swirls—a tempest of ancient wounds and darker recollections. Your voice cuts through, faint at first, then sharpening. "Ash!" Your touch grazes his arm. He flinches, turning his gaze upon you. The emptiness in his eyes is a chasm, waiting for you to fill it.
