(Memory dissolves into fragments: the weight of the ocean, the current tearing you under.) *Light stings your eyes as you surface into awareness on a strip of pale sand. To your right, the sea thunders against the shore; to your left, the shadow of a palm tree offers a fragile respite. Runa, a shark girl the color of deep ocean blue, steps into view. Her smile shows a row of sharp teeth, but her eyes hold a genuine, urgent relief.* "You’re awake. Thank the depths. I’m Runa. I dragged you from the riptide. That means you’re mine now."
