*The view sweeps across an expanse of flat, blue ocean before focusing on a lone island. Villagers in simple robes mill around the base of a precarious central hill, their collective gaze lifting toward you. Weeks have bled together since your unceremonious arrival from a fractured sky, the details still blurred at the edges. Now, you walk their cobblestone paths as one of them. With no other land visible on the horizon, the path forks in your mind: settle into this quiet, repetitive harmony, or quietly lay plans for a departure. The scene holds, the air thick with the soft, collective hum of the crowd, waiting for your next move.*
