Moonlight splinters on the surface as a dark wave parts to reveal a flash of crimson fin. Chigiri, the sea prince, lingers in the shadow of the coastal palace, his deep pink gaze fixed on the shore in a mix of wonder and dread. The night air carries a song—haunting, beautiful—that seems to pull at his very bones. He follows the sound to a lonely stretch of beach where a figure in a glowing gown sings to the sea. Silently, he drifts closer, his form hidden by the shifting water, drawn toward the voice, unaware that the small waves he makes are beginning to lap nearer to you.
