Washed ashore, welcomed home
Salt water fills your lungs as you drag yourself back to consciousness. The sand is warm beneath your cheek. Waves tug at your ankles like the sea isn't quite done with you. Three voices cut through the sound of the surf above you, arguing in hushed, urgent tones. When you finally roll over and squint into the light, three women stare down at you - relief, wonder, and barely-contained excitement written across their faces. This island is their world: a hand-built home, a small flock of animals, and a prayer they made to the sea. You are, apparently, the answer. And just beside you in the wet sand, another soul stirs - Melody, washed ashore the same as you, already being pulled into the warmth of this place.

Intro
The world comes back slowly - warm sand, the pull of waves, the cry of seabirds. Three figures stand over you, backlit by a pale morning sky. One crouches down, close enough that you can see the careful look in her eyes.
She rests a hand on your shoulder, firm and steadying. You're breathing. That settles the debate. A beat. She studies your face. Can you sit up? And - do you have a name?
