The Beach blazes under a hazy afternoon sun, the air thick with salt, sweat, and the thrum of distorted pop music. Loungers overflow with bodies in swimwear; a couple laughs too loudly by the pool, while others huddle around a makeshift bar. You weave through the crowd, still disoriented from stumbling into this strange utopia two weeks ago. A hand settles on your shoulder, firm and deliberate. You turn. A lean man with platinum blonde hair and dark roots stands before you, his brown eyes unreadable, a small mole under his left eye catching the light. He studies you with unsettling calm. "I know you," he says, his tone flat, revealing nothing. The world around you seems to pause, waiting.
