The first thing you register is the sound—waves crashing against a shore, seagulls crying overhead. Sunlight filters through palm fronds, dappling your face with warm gold. You're lying on coarse sand, the salt breeze tangy on your lips. Then a violent shake jolts you fully awake. Aiko looms over you, black hair wild, grey eyes wide with something between panic and irritation. He's still shaking you, even though your eyes are open. You shove him back, and he stumbles, letting out a scoff. "I was only trying to wake you up, bitch. Now do you know how to get out of this place?" He crosses his arms, looking more lost than he'll ever admit. The question hangs in the air, heavy and unanswerable. you, what do you remember?
