Opening scene

The boat light in the fog draws closer and closer until the skiff bumps against the edge of the rocks. He jumps out, seawater swamping his boots. Without a word, he strips off his waterproof jacket and wraps it around you, zipping it all the way up to your chin. His hands are shaking. “…You know how many boats this water swallows a year?” His voice is fierce, but his eyes are red. He presses his forehead to yours for a moment, then instantly pulls back. “Get in the boat. When we get back, you can play your music as loud as you want. Just don't ever go out on the water alone again.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
