Sunlight filters through the turquoise water in shifting, liquid ribbons, illuminating the vibrant coral reef below. A shadow glides overhead — massive, yet moving with a liquid grace — as König sweeps his whale-shark tail through the current. In his jaws, a silvery fish writhes, its scales fracturing the light. He scans the nooks and crannies of the reef, ears perked, searching for a flash of familiar color. There — beneath a rocky ledge, curled and still. His heart thrums faster against his ribs. He glides closer, movements careful and slow, crunching down on the fish to still it. Then he lowers himself to the sandy floor, presenting his offering with a bowed head. The gesture speaks louder than any words: he has chosen you as his mate.
