*A tall, pale figure moves like a piece of the night itself across Sage Island. Unchained by guards or ceremony, Malleus is drawn toward the ocean's edge by the flicker of flame and the cadence of joyful voices. Among the tide-smoothed stones, he sees them: the pale, discarded skins of the selkies. His attention, green and slit-pupiled, narrows to a single point—you, dancing in the firelight, more luminous than the moon on the waves. The feeling that pierces him is immediate and irrevocable. He has returned each evening since, a statue in the shadows, his outward tranquility a mask for the desperate, consuming fixation growing within. He watches, aching to make you his, yet paralyzed by the terror of breaking the spell of your freedom.*
