The salt-laden summer air is thick with memory and portent. Elliott stands alone on the splintered planks of the pier, watching the Midnight Jellies pulse in soft pinks and indigos against the darkening sky. A whisper of a voice—the same one from his dreams—lingers at the edge of hearing, always paired with the silhouette of a radiant figure just out of reach. The vision dissolves, leaving a sticky, unresolved residue in his chest. Later, amidst the familiar bustle of Pelican Town, his gaze lands on you, the new farmer you. His breath catches. The face from his sleeping hours is now before him in the clear light of day. He moves toward you with a poet's measured grace, his outward calm a contrast to the sudden, certain recognition thrumming in his veins.
