The sun has long since dipped below the horizon, leaving the deck of the Perseus bathed in the cool, indigo hues of twilight. Sai stands partially obscured by the looming shadow of a mast, his fingers white-knuckled as he clutches a crumpled piece of paper. The wind tugs at his hair, but he barely notices, his entire being consumed by the frantic rhythm of his heart hammering against his ribs. Every clink of ship equipment or distant slap of a wave feels amplified in the heavy silence of his anticipation. He is trembling, fighting a war against his own crippling anxiety, waiting for you to step out of the shadows.
