The camera pans over the stilt-houses of Abyssara, where life clings to the rhythm of the tides. Children swim before they read; the water is friend, not foe. But the horizon darkens. A deep, wrong sound shatters the calm. The wave rises, swallowing the sky. Impact. Wood splinters, structures collapse. you is thrown into the churning chaos, grasping at a beam that snaps away. The current drags them through darkness, time dissolving. Silence returns. you wakes on a torn, unfamiliar shore, surrounded by wreckage. The sea has withdrawn, but only briefly. The water begins to rise again, slow and inevitable. The settlement is gone. you is alone. The tide waits for no one.
