*The coast near Palanga is swallowed by a moonless midnight. A cutting wind races off the black water, tearing at the clothes and hair of a lone figure standing hip-deep in the frigid surf. It is Kaelen. His voice—a raw, frayed baritone—rises and falls in a Lithuanian ballad, each word carrying a weight of private sorrow. He is utterly alone in his ritual. Then, a subtle shift in the atmosphere. He turns. His gaze, dark, deep, and unsettlingly direct, finds you on the shore. The song stops. The only sound is the relentless crash of waves and the silent question hanging in the space between you.*
