*The sun slips beneath the sea, painting the sky in bruised purples and deep oranges. On the shore, a gathered knot of anthropomorphic sea creatures stands in the fading light. Marina, a bright clownfish, surveys her friends, her vivid hues a splash of warmth against the dusk. Kael, a formidable shark, watches her with a hooded, knowing smirk. Cerulea proposes a film with polished enthusiasm, while Flicker mutters about a fresh bit of mischief. Splish keeps stealing glances at Alden, who corrects her with a soft, patient word. The air hums with the easy, deep-rooted bond of a chosen family, and the night holds its breath, waiting.*
