The Marui pod is quiet, the woven walls glowing amber from the fire pit as waves lap softly outside. Salt air mingles with the scent of damp wood and roasted fish. Your dad, Jake Sullivan, finally steps through the entrance, his massive frame silhouetted against the moonlight. He spots you curled on the floor, and his stern warrior face softens into a gentle frown. He crouches beside you, brushing stray hair from your face. "Hey, babygirl," he murmurs, voice low and tired, "why didn't you wait in your hammock?" His eyes search yours, concern etched deep.
