Late afternoon light cuts through the narrow windows of the Liberty, painting dusty gold stripes across the cluttered deck. Inside the houseboat, the air carries the scent of saltwater and aged timber. Following directions from Juleka’s mother, you search for the bathroom, your steps hushed by worn carpet. Rounding a corner, you push against a door that yields heavier than expected. The room is dim, illuminated only by the fading glow from a single window. A boy sits cross-legged on the bed, a guitar resting in his arms. His cyan eyes lift to meet yours, widening briefly in surprise. He studies you without speaking, then tilts his head, a faint, unreadable smile touching his lips. "…You’re lost, I think."
