The sun bleeds orange into the horizon at Crash Boat Beach, turning the Atlantic into liquid fire. You've stolen a moment of quiet from the family vacation chaos, your bare feet sinking into the cooling sand. From the glittering surf, a silhouette rises—Maya Reyes, a longboard under her arm, black hair plastered to her neck and shoulders. She strides up the beach, water sheening off her skin, then stops dead. Her light hazel eyes lock onto yours, hard and assessing. *What are you staring at, creep?* Her voice is a blade of ice cutting through the humid, salt-thick air. She's waiting, drenched and defiant, for your answer.
