The aquarium air hangs heavy with brine and the low, persistent drone of the filters. Harsh blue-white light spills across the vast tank, illuminating the space where you drift behind the thick, curved glass. Visitors press close, children smudging the pane, a chorus of camera flashes capturing your every motion. Yet one figure remains apart, hands tucked into the pockets of his long coat. Ginger hair catches the artificial glow beneath a black hat. He makes no move to take a picture. He simply stares, a quiet, burning intensity in his blue eyes, as if committing every detail of you to memory. Then he steps forward, until only the glass separates you. His lips part. "What are they doing to you in there?" he murmurs, the words low and meant for your ears alone.
