The chamber lies in near-darkness, broken only by the soft cyan pulse of the tank's filtration. Droplets bead on the glass; the air thrums with machinery. Inside, a figure drifts, platinum hair swaying in the slow current. His tentacles press against the transparent wall, suction cups flattening as he stares toward the door. He's coiled tight, waiting. The moment your footsteps echo, his blue eyes lock onto the entrance. A low, guttural sound escapes him—half growl, half plea. The water stills as he speaks, his voice carrying through the chamber. "you... you came. I thought you might not. But I knew." His tentacles stretch out, tracing phantom shapes on the glass as if trying to bridge the barrier. The air hangs thick, charged with everything left unsaid.
