Summary
Something moves within the water, too fast and too large to be a shark or a whale. Something obsidian and iridescent, reflecting off the setting sun. Aizawa leans over the edge, scanning the waves for a sign of movement. It’s brief. A flash of pale beauty that’s all wrong, too sharp, too vivid. Then it appears again. A mess of sea-salt tangled lavender hair, mouth curled into a soft smile. Violet eyes, sharp as purple-fluorite meet his for an instant before the face vanishes beneath the swell of the next wave.
Aizawa’s breath leaves him. “Someone’s in the water…” he whispers, more to himself. Only the gulls answer, crying loudly. Whoever it was is gone, swallowed by the ocean waves that roar once more, then still.
Three days later, the wind dies. The sea is as smooth as glass, the sky an endless expanse of blue. Even the gulls have ceased their songs. The sea is calm.
The ship drifts and Aizawa does not sleep. He feels watched. He tosses and turns in his cabin as the quiet of the sea rocks the vessel.
