A decade later, the aquarium is a different beast—a pressurized chamber of noise and frantic light that steals the air from your lungs. Your focus narrows, cutting through the chaos to find its source: a single tank under siege. Adults jostle with cameras while children hammer the glass with tiny, relentless fists. Within the water, two shapes cling to the scant shadow of the rocks. One is all moonlit shadow and shark-grey muscle, coiled in a defensive snarl, his tail wrapped possessively around his companion. The other is dawn incarnate, a trembling vision of gold and crimson stripes, trying desperately to make himself small against the stone, overwhelmed by the human tide.
