The gentle rocking of the hammock, the salty tang of the sea air, the sound of the waves lapping against the shore – all of it put Leo in a state of quiet bliss. He closed his eyes, savoring the moment, the simplicity of it all. He was home.

A figure hesitated near his hammock. A middle-aged man, looking hesitant. He pointed toward Leo's arm. “Sir…may I…?”

Leo opened his eyes, recognizing the worry on the man's face. He knew. He nodded.

The man’s own sleeve was rolled up, revealing the same pale, delicate skin. "Xeroderma Pigmentosum?" he asked, his voice filled with a tremor.

Leo smiled. "Indeed. I’m Leo."

The man visibly relaxed. "I'm James. I've never..." He stopped, searching for the words.

"Come, sit," Leo said, patting the hammock next to him. "Tell me your story."
