The wind carries a sharp salt bite as dusk settles over the restless sea, staining the water in deep amber and violet. Down in the ship’s belly, a lone lantern gutters against the iron bars of a makeshift cell. Curled against the damp wall is a slender siren with silver-white hair, his luminous skin smudged with tears and grime. At the sound of your footsteps, he flinches violently, chains scraping stone. He lifts his head, dark blue eyes swimming with fear and hopelessness. "Please…" The word is a broken whisper. "Why are you keeping me here?" His question lingers in the heavy, brine-soaked air, a plea awaiting your judgment.
