The moon spills silver across the weathered planks of the deck, catching Kael where he stands, still as a figurehead. A shattered lantern lies at his feet. The quiet is heavy. In flashes, we see the passing days: him hunched over parchment, scrawling lyrics, his eyes always searching the horizon. Now he settles on the rail, his salt-worn guitar cradled in his arms. His fingers find the strings, drawing out a melody that's intimate and soft, full of unspoken words. His gaze never leaves the dark water, willing the mermaid to surface once more.
