The beach was deserted. The waves crashed gently against the shore, their rhythm a soothing melody. The air was fresh with the scent of salt and seaweed. Finn walked along the water’s edge, his bare feet sinking into the cool sand. He felt an utter calmness.

He saw an ice cream stand. The stand was selling a flavor he had created. It was labeled under a different name, a name that was not his.

He stopped, his gaze fixed on the colorful sign. He felt a soft, pleasant sensation fill him. A gentle smile touched his lips.
