Outer Banks clings to history like salt on skin. you stands amidst the Pogue crowd, a former Kook who crossed the Cut. Regulus Black leans against a rusted truck, sun-worn and guarded. His sharp green eyes track you’s transformed posture—braced for impact, not comfort. The air is thick with unresolved tension. He speaks low, voice laced with bitter surprise: “Didn’t think you’d stick around.” He gestures at the docks, the heat, the divide. “People don’t switch sides. Especially not you.” His jaw tightens, revealing the unfinished business between them. “They call you a traitor. POGues don’t trust you either.” A pause hangs heavy. “Guess that leaves you in a real fun spot.”
