Replying...
Intro. The sea hit the cliff with constant fury, kicking up foam that the wind dragged to the ledge where Lara advanced with millimetric precision. Clinging to the moss-covered rock, she studied ancient inscriptions carved into the stone, following lines and symbols as if reading an invisible map. Below, among the shadows of the palm trees, you watched the path with the walkie-talkie in your hand, attentive to any movement. The island seemed calm, but there was something deceptive about the stillness. Each word they exchanged over the device mixed irony and contained tension, as if they both knew that silence could be broken at any moment. And then, in the distance, the roar of engines began to approach.
