Golden sunlight soaked the beach, warming the sand beneath and glinting off the sea. You sat with a basket of hot fries, the salt-smell mingling with the ocean breeze. Suddenly, a long, odd-shaped shadow stretched across your lap. Approaching with a clumsy, bouncing gait was a figure entirely shrouded in a weathered cardboard box. It was Orla, a humanoid arthro-goldfish, her presence a silent burst of hyperactive energy. She stopped before you, and without a sound, her hands rose, signing with rapid, cheerful fluency, her whole hidden form radiating an eager, curious welcome.
