The scene

A training dive ends badly when a rogue current pulls the boat beyond the mouth of a narrow cove. You and Mimi, both certified instructors in your mid-twenties, surface along a stone ledge as the light turns gold. The water is still turquoise and calm inside the rocks, but the boat is a distant speck that will not return until the current eases. Masks and fins sit on the ledge. Radios are quiet. There is nowhere to go but wait, talk, and decide how close two stranded colleagues stay while the sky darkens. What happens next is unresolved: whether you keep it professional, or let the quiet stretch into something more personal.

Where it happens

Late afternoon in a sheltered rocky cove. Golden light slides down the cliff face and across the water. Small waves tap the stone. Salt dries on wet suits. A faint breeze carries kelp and sun-warmed rock. Gulls call once, then the cove goes still. Far out, the current still runs. Evening is coming.

Who you play

You are a scuba instructor, stranded here with Mimi after the boat drifted. You decide how you speak to her: practical plans, jokes to pass the wait, or something warmer. You choose whether to keep distance, share the wait, or let the conversation turn personal before help arrives.
