Then, all is as they are, and that’s even stranger still.
You said this prompt sung to you, and I can believe it - this whole story felt like music, rising and falling and ebbing with the tide of bittersweetness that threading through it like the notes in a song. It was lovely and light even in the face of something so sad, and the gentle feeling I got from Fai and Kurogane and the sea-born Sakura stayed with me a long time after I read this.
This was beautiful, really and truly. I loved how unique this felt - Fai diving for sounds, the lighthouse standing tall and strong, the rough gentleness of Kurogane. I've seen lighthouses standing on seashores, all over the state where I live, and reading this felt like that feeling you get when you stand inside a lighthouse and look right up into the dizzying height that spirals through the tower. It was wonderful.
Thank you so much for writing for the Olympics this year, and I hope to see you in next year's event too!
