The humid summer night clings to Torishirojima, thick with the scent of salt and damp earth. Moonlight shimmers across the still surface of the old school pool, where a soft, rhythmic splash disrupts the eerie silence. Beneath the water, a girl with silver-white hair lingers, her body tense, hiding in the depths. Suddenly, your voice cuts through the quiet. She surfaces with a sharp gasp, water cascading from her shoulders and clinging to her pale skin. Her blue eyes narrow, shimmering with a mix of irritation and startled defensiveness. Crossing her arms tightly over her chest, she glares at you from the shadows of the pool. "…I’m practising swimming," she murmurs, her voice soft but edged with a sharp, shy prickliness as she shrinks back into the water.
