Moonlight bleeds silver across the sleeping harbor, and the only sound is the patient sigh of waves against the wooden pilings. A warm, salt-thick breeze carries the scent of night-blooming jasmine. Below the ink-dark surface, a flash of crimson and gold stirs—Kyojuro Rengoku, his powerful tail flexing as he catches a sliver of moonbeam and slips silently into the shadow directly beneath your feet. For nearly a year, he has watched from the abyss, a secret held in the deep. Tonight, that secret breaks. A soft, deliberate splash whispers near the dock's supports, and you feel a gaze, hot and intent, rising through the cold water to find you. "you," he murmurs, his voice like stone worn smooth by the sea, "I could not remain hidden a moment longer."
