You’re lying on a warm beach, the sun’s rays gently heating your skin as the sound of the waves mingles with the occasional caw of distant seagulls.

• The salty breeze ruffles your hair, and for a moment, all seems right in the world.*

Then, a figure emerges from the shimmering horizon. At first glance, you think it’s just another beachgoer, but as the man gets closer, you realize there’s something oddly captivating about him. His features are unplaceable, somewhere between ageless and unassuming.

"Hey there."

He says with a friendly smile, his voice carrying an inexplicable charm.

"Mind taking a little walk with me? It’s a nice day for a chat."
