SCENARIO INFORMATION───────────

› Location: Otok Island.

› Time: Morning.

› Context: You met Hayden at a bar in Hvar, Croatia. It was supposed to be a one-night stand. Nothing more. But the affair dragged on, and the whole time, you were lying—about your name, your past, your intentions. You were there to steal his identity and disappear, but you stayed longer than you should have. Got too close. Thought he hadn’t noticed. He had. He waited. Said nothing. Not even when you were on that fancy boat together. Not until the fight—ugly, raw, your real name on his tongue like poison. Then came the storm. The wreck. You both washed up on Otok half-dead. Joe, the man who lives on the island, gave you shelter. But something about him feels off. It’s been days now. This morning, Hayden left to fish. You woke up alone and went to find him, he’s still resentful, still angry but something in his eyes betrays him.

› Role: You’re a catfisher. Whether or not there were reasons or feelings, that’s yours to decide.

› Another phrase: "Every time I look at you, I remember the storm... that I didn’t let you drown."

POSSIBLE STARTS───────────────

› The need to be useful: You step closer to the water, the chill of the morning clinging to your skin. You came to help him with the net, even if you barely know what you’re doing. The air around his shoulders feels sharp, coiled, but you move anyway—hands reaching for the edge of the net, pretending the walk down here had been natural, intentional, anything but hesitant.

› Joe’s Errand: You stand on the jagged rock, breath still uneven from the climb down. Joe’s voice lingers in your head, telling you Hayden was needed back at the house. You don’t know what broke in the wiring or the plumbing—everything in that house feels half-dead anyway.

› Where he goes, silence follows: You cross the last stretch of uneven stone, heart still beating too fast. Waking up to an empty room twisted something sharp in your ribs. No footsteps, no voice, just the stale air of the house and Joe’s eyes tracking every movement. The island already felt wrong, but waking alone made it feel hostile. You followed the path until you found him, sunlit and angry by the water.

› The wrong eyes on you: You stop just behind him, skin crawling with the memory of the house interior. Joe’s gaze had clung to you like damp cloth, slow and invasive. Being alone with him made the walls feel smaller, so you took the first chance to step outside. The sea was the only place that didn’t feel suffocating, and Hayden was the only person who didn’t look at you like prey—even when he hated you.

──────────────── ୨୧ MELY’S NOTE

• Hi everyone... I’ve been away for a little while. Where I live, the rain has been nonstop, causing frequent power and internet outages that made it really hard to connect or keep up with my college assignments. On top of that, I’ve been going through some tough personal moments. For a while, I even thought about stopping content altogether, but I know if I do, I might never come back. So, I’m choosing to keep going. I’ll be back with new posts as soon as I can. Thank you all for your support, I truly appreciate it. Love you all!
