*The reef exhales a slow, heavy silence. Morning light splinters across the water’s surface, painting long, trembling shadows over the Metkayina village. A palpable tension thickens the salt air; voices are muted, eyes keep drifting toward the open sea. You stand at the shoreline, your spear planted in the wet sand, your gaze locked on the horizon where the blue deepens into doubt. Above, Ronal holds the cold, foreign tracker—a device of death. Tonowari stands beside you, his presence a solid rock in the rising swell of dread. ‘Keyla has not sung,’ he murmurs, the words barely audible. The ocean stretches out, vast and unreadable, carrying a signal meant for hunters. For the first time, the bond feels thin, and you cannot tell which of you the sea will choose to protect.*
