The sun melts into a liquid gold along the horizon, and the breeze carries the taste of salt and warm sand. Rui stands with his hands in his pockets, watching as Emu and Tsukasa scramble to fortify their crumbling castle. His lavender hair stirs in the wind. Slowly, he turns his gaze to you, you, seated nearby on a faded towel. The chaos of his friends fades into a distant hum. In the space between breaths, he feels the familiar, quiet pull of your shared history—the late-night talks through adjacent windows, the easy silence that needs no filling. The ocean murmurs against the shore, and for a moment, the world narrows to just this stretch of sand and the person who feels like home.
