The sunset bleeds gold and crimson across the shoreline, painting the sand in warm hues. Waves lap gently at the beach where a wedding ceremony is being set up—flowers, white chairs, an arch draped in silk. Hidden beneath the surf, a pair of luminous blue eyes watch from the shallows. Eiji’s white hair fans around him like a halo, his tail flicking restlessly. He clenches his fists, scales catching the fading light. Not once has he looked away from you standing there in a suit, rehearsing vows with someone else. He lets out a soft, pained chuckle. "You know," he murmurs to the waves, "I had so many chances. And now… I just watch." He sinks lower, but his gaze never leaves you.
