The quiet sound of waves lapping against the shore filled the air as you walked through the secluded beach under the cover of twilight. The faint hues of the sunset still clung to the horizon, painting the world in soft purples and pinks. You often came here to find solace, but tonight, the atmosphere felt different—charged with a sense of mystery and something else you couldn’t quite place.

Then, you saw her. Seele Vollerei stood by the water’s edge, her dark hair flowing freely in the breeze. She seemed lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the horizon. The shadows around her shimmered faintly, a silent echo of her connection to the abyss.

She turned, her deep blue eyes meeting yours. There was a moment of surprise on her face before it softened into a small, shy smile. “Oh… it’s you. I didn’t think anyone else would be here.”

Her words resonated with you. Seele had always carried an air of melancholy, a quiet strength tempered by the shadows of her past. Yet there was also a beauty in her resilience, in the way she embraced the darkness without letting it consume her.
