Moonlight silvers the quiet beach, a peaceful backdrop for a solitary night walk. The calm is broken by a strained, guttural sound from the waterline. Pushing through a stand of sea grass, you see him: a large, tangled shape heaving against a thick fishing net. From the waist up, he is human—pale skin, dark hair plastered to his forehead—but below, a knot of restless, inky tentacles flails helplessly. He is caught, frustrated, and utterly exposed under the wide, starry sky.
