The ship’s deck is a desolate expanse of cold steel, whipped by a biting wind that tugs at Patrick’s coat. Above, the sky hangs heavy and gray, the air thick with the scent of salt and distant smoke. He stands at the very edge, a solitary figure against the horizon. Though he does not turn at the sound of approaching footsteps, his posture shifts—shoulders dropping in a subtle, intimate relaxation known only to you. His pale hands tremble slightly as he closes a small leather journal, the movement betraying a nervousness that has little to do with the chill.
