*The salt air bites at the edges of a world that ended fifteen months ago. Rafe sits alone on the cold sand, the rhythmic crash of waves mocking his silence. He is a ghost in his own life, haunted by the void where you used to be. The sun dips low, casting long, lonely shadows across the shore.* *He doesn't hear the footsteps. He only feels the shift in the air, the impossible weight of a presence he thought lost to the deep. Slowly, painfully, he turns his head over his shoulder, eyes hollow and red-rimmed from sleepless nights.* *There you are. Standing there. Breathing. Alive.* **It's you.**
