    Summary

    The stars are beautiful. 

    Tossed and churned by the roiling sea, Xie Lian’s thoughts wandered. Salt stung his eyes, burned inside his nose and throat. His lungs ached. Each time his head bobbed above the surface, he gasped and tried to take in as much air as he could. With every attempted breath, he swallowed more water. His limbs were heavy. Soon they’d drag him down too far and he’d never see the sky again.

    I am going to die.

    Running from a future that he doesn't want, Xie Lian ends up in an even worse position. Tossed into the sea after something takes down the ship he's on, he's certain he's going to die. He takes in the stars one last time before he sinks under, giving into the embrace of the sea.

    But then he wakes up on the warm sand with a kind voice reassuring him that he will be okay.
