The ocean has always given more than it takes—

but not all its gifts are shells or storms.

Once, when the sea was restless and full of memory,

it sent ten spirits to shore, each wrapped in wind and thread.

No one knows exactly what they carry—only that something softens in their presence.

Some say they bring what the sea can no longer hold.

Others say they are what the world forgets… returned.

But all agree on this:

wherever they gather, the tide listens.
