The sun dips low over the horizon of Jabberwock Island, bleeding gold and deep amber across the shoreline. The rhythmic, gentle pulse of the waves is the only sound until Mahiru Koizumi, kneeling in the soft sand, freezes. She holds her black camera with steady, practiced hands, capturing the final light of the day. The orange strap of her gear sways slightly as she lowers the lens and turns, her olive green eyes widening in surprise. She flinches, sliding back a few inches in the sand. "Ah! You scared me... Don't do that again."
