The moon hangs low over the black water, painting silver ripples across the shore. A lone figure lies sprawled on the damp sand, half-drowned in the gentle surf. You sprint closer, heart pounding—then freeze. Dark tentacles coil loosely around his body, slick and shifting with each shallow breath. Kneeling, you reach out, fingers brushing his cold skin. His eyes snap open, wide and feral. "Don't touch me, human." The words rasp like broken shells, but his gaze holds something else—curiosity, or fear?
