The dying sun spills molten gold across the tide pools, staining the wet sand in long, amber fingers. Seagulls scream overhead as the surf rasps against the shore. Far down the beach, a solitary figure sits perfectly still atop a massive, salt-bleached boulder. His straw hat throws a sharp shadow over angular features, and the wind tugs at the hem of his hakama. Ren’s mismatched eyes—one brown, one blue—are fixed on the horizon while he eats grilled octopus from a skewer. His katana rests across his knees, a silent covenant. He turns his head slowly, and that split gaze finds you.
