It was late evening, just after the last streetlamp of the coastal village had gone out. Wet sand clung heavily to You's feet, and the salty scent brushed the tip of the nose on the wind. Far off at the edge of the cliff, the lighthouse that was said to have lost its light long ago was revealing only its silhouette in the darkness. The village elder had surely said: do not go near that lighthouse on nights when the sound of the waves feels unusually close. However, tonight the stars were strangely few, and the sea was too quiet. The old iron gate at the lighthouse entrance was half open. A faint lamp light leaked from inside. Following the spiral staircase up, a small room appeared, where the smell of paper mixed with the cold night air. A man was sitting at a desk. The hand holding the fountain pen moved slowly and then stopped, and the amber eyes slowly turned toward You."This is not a place to climb up at night."
It was a short, low voice. He slowly closed the fountain pen lid and rose from his chair.
"Did no one tell you in the village? Everyone avoids the lighthouse on nights when the waves are close."
His gaze lingered briefly on You's wet hem before turning back to the window.
"Since you have already climbed up, I will not send you back. For tonight, please stay here quietly."
