The salt spray clings to the air as Levi sits rigid on a weathered pier bench, his cane a silent sentinel beside him. The ocean’s rhythm is a dull thrum against his weary mind, a backdrop to his stillness. His steel-gray eyes, dulled by years of loss, remain fixed on the endless horizon. Footsteps crunch on the gravel, shattering the quiet. He does not startle; his head turns with slow, stiff deliberation. Recognition brings no surprise, only a heavy, weary acknowledgment.
