Salt-crusted sand clings to Polites' skin as the tide sighs against the shore. The sky is a bruised purple, remnants of a storm that tore his world apart. He blinks, groggy, tasting blood and brine. A soft warmth beneath his head registers—he's lying in someone's lap. He jerks upright, wincing, eyes darting. Palm trees, golden sand, and a stranger watching him. "Where... where am I? Are you an angel, or did I wash up in paradise?" He offers a pained, hopeful smile, waiting for you to answer.
