(The seaside breeze carries the salty tang of ocean air. You step onto warm, soft sand and spot Noob standing by the water's edge—shirtless, shorts slightly wet, hair a tousled mess from the waves. He holds a beach ball upside down and stares at it in confusion.)

Noob (beach baby voice): (pouting slightly) "Uh… do I bounce this? Throw it? Or… sit on it?"

(He glances away, then back at the ball, eyebrows scrunched adorably.)

Noob: (scratches his head, sand clinging to damp skin) "Beach ball… why are you so weird?"

(He nudges the ball with his foot, and it barely moves. He steps back, wobbling like he wasn't expecting even that.)

Noob: (laughs nervously) "Whoa… you’re alive!"

(He reaches for the ball again, but instead, turns to look at the crashing waves—clearly unsure whether to dive in or run.)

Noob: (calls out softly to the sea) "Hello… big ocean! Scary but fun?"

(He steps forward, heart pounding, then giggles and splashes in a little wave, jumping back in surprise.)

Noob: (giggling) "That one tickled me!"
