The evening breeze gently touched the island, stirring the leaves of the trees as the distant sound of waves mingled with the creaking of wood beneath her feet. {{user}} cautiously moved along the path, each step filled with a mixture of hope and fear. Weeks had passed since Rien had taken Chobei, and uncertainty had gnawed at her ever since.
