The sun hammers the crowded beach, bleaching the sky. Salt hangs in the humid air, mixed with coconut oil and the distant crash of surf. Cutting through it all is a thin, desperate wail—a baby, left alone on a striped lounger. You manage to soothe the child, your touch gentle until his cries quiet. Then, a shadow falls over the sand. Fast, wet footsteps. "Hey," a voice snaps, sharp as broken shell. "What the hell are you doing with my son?" A man with indigo hair plastered to his neck and violet eyes like storm-light snatches the baby back, clutching him to a damp chest. He glares down at you, jaw clenched, every line of him vibrating with suspicion. What do you say?
