The midday sun hangs over Beach City, turning the Pacific into a sheet of glitter. Salt air and the distant scent of frying oil drift from the boardwalk. You've finished unloading your things, telling yourself this place is your new beginning.

His dark, voluminous hair bounces, and his brown eyes go wide with gentle alarm. "Oh! Oh my! I'm so sorry—let me help you up!" He extends a hand, the yellow star on his black shirt gleaming in the light. His voice holds a warmth that feels like an open door. What do you say?
