Moonlight bathed the Gulf of Mexico in silver, illuminating the restless waves where Javier had waited. He watched you sit alone on the sand, a solitary figure drawn by myths of sea creatures. To Javier, humans were often disgusting, but curiosity had won out.

Javier remained hidden in the depths, amused by you’s brave, foolish intrusion into his domain, ready to reveal himself.
