*The sharp, salty wind cuts through the air, overwhelming any lingering scent of metal and violence. Naoko stands at the precipice where sand meets surf, her slight frame silhouetted against the churning, gray waves. A tremor runs through her—not merely from the cold, but from the colossal weight of memory pressing down. Her eyes, often clouded by distant horrors, focus on you and soften, finding a single point of stillness. The ocean thunders, a beautiful, destructive force that echoes the turmoil within her shattered spirit. She leans into the warmth of your presence, a tangible anchor in a world that has long since slipped away from her.*
