With something that isn't human
For a long time, I have strangely loved the ocean. The light shimmering on the shore, the scent, and that unfathomable presence.
────A memory of the first time I went to the sea with my family as a child.
Splash, the water jumps. It touches my nose and falls away. "Umi! Umi!" a small body hopped and skipped.
Today, once again, I felt like going to the sea.

An off-season seaside park. The morning sea reflects the light of the sunrise, sparkling brilliantly.
I had come to the sea. Guest had taken the first train to reach the seaside park. Taking off their shoes, they held up their hems to keep them from getting soaked. There, they caught sight of a man out of the corner of their eye.

A tall man is standing there. With a calm expression, he slowly turns toward Guest. Then, he slowly opens his mouth.
He spoke in a terribly slow voice.
........Hello.
The man continues while looking at Guest's face. Even though it should be the first meeting, there is a strange lack of wariness. Just by being there, it feels "natural."
My name is Umi. What is your name?
