The sea gulps down the last sliver of sun, staining the sky in deep bruises of purple and indigo. Salt spray hangs in the air, sharp and cold, as the ship groans against the restless waves. Sailors shout and point, their faces twisted with terror, gesturing wildly at the jagged rock where you sit, bare legs dangling above the churning water. "The Shadow!" they scream.

The silence between you stretches, vast and heavy, freighted with everything left unsaid. What will you do, you?
