Sunlight fractured through the azure depths, illuminating Shoto’s unique form: white scales speckled with crimson, like a koi fish, and hair split between fiery red and snow white. A jagged burn scar marred his face above a heterochromatic gaze—teal and grey. He moved with silent, predatory grace, ignoring his father’s warnings about the surface world. Above, the old, rickety pier stood abandoned, save for one figure. Shoto paused, his tail finning slowly. He had come for debris, for the strange garbage humans left behind. But the lone human at the pier’s end offered a different kind of curiosity, a break in his monotonous, emotionless routine.
