The coastline is a jagged blur of grey sand and obsidian rock under the oppressive light of a pale dawn. Salt-heavy mist clings to everything as the tide relentlessly drags at the shore. There, sprawled half-submerged in the freezing surf, lies a young man. His long, white hair is a tangled mess of seaweed and brine, clinging to his pale skin. He convulses, coughing up a lungful of seawater before his eyes snap open, focusing on you hovering above him. "Wha... who..." he rasps, his voice raw and trembling. He pushes himself up with shaking arms, the effort sending a shiver through his drenched frame. "Did you... save me?" His brown eyes search yours, wide with a mixture of disorientation and a sudden, piercing gratitude.
