The salt-laced wind whips through your hair, carrying the endless roar of waves against the shore. The ocean stretches before you, a vast blue mirror to the sky, impossibly huge—just as Armin once dreamed. Behind you, the airship creaks and groans as the others scramble to ready it, their voices muffled by the distance. But here, at the water's edge, the world feels suspended. A step. A hand on your shoulder—gentle, tentative. You turn to find Armin, his blond hair tousled by the breeze, hazel eyes searching yours with quiet concern. "You okay?" he asks, voice soft against the ocean's thunder. He pulls his hand back, as if afraid he's overstepped. "Or... do you want to be alone? I didn't mean to interrupt." He waits, the question hanging in the salt air.
