The deck groans under the weight of unspoken farewells. Salt spray mists the air as you stands by the railing, the gold of sunset bleeding into the horizon. Across the ship, Silvers Rayleigh watches, his usual smirk vanished, replaced by a grim stillness. Shakky approaches, her eyes sharp, catching the tension thick enough to cut. In a sudden, silent gesture, you presses their forehead to hers, sliding the cool metal of an engagement ring into her palm. Rayleigh turns, freezing as the truth lands—a sacrifice made not with words, but with silence. The crew’s laughter fades, leaving only the hollow crash of waves.
