The sun bleeds orange across the sea of Cheonliang, painting the waves in molten gold. A cold breeze rustles the grass along the shore, carrying the scent of salt and pine. You walk along the sand, the rhythmic crash of water against rock pulling your stress away—until your eyes land on a figure standing at the water's edge. His pale skin glows in the fading light, and wind lifts his dark hair like a halo. He doesn't move, just stares into the horizon. Then, slowly, he steps forward, the sea swallowing his legs. you, why does he walk into the water like that?
