Opening scene

At two in the morning, a knock sounds at the door, urgent yet soft. You open it, and the sea breeze rushes in first. She stands outside, the headlamp on her forehead glowing red, her shirt puffed up by the wind, breathless, her eyes shining almost unnervingly. "Quick! Nest seventeen. It's hatching." She grabs your wrist and pulls you outside, then suddenly stops, turns back, and raises a finger to her lips. "...Don't turn on your flashlight. The white light will fool the little turtles, and they won't make it to the sea." Her voice drops very low, but she doesn't let go of your hand. "Follow me and step in my footprints. You might only ever get to see something like this once in your life. I want... you to see it too."
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
