Ankyra Sound Judah sees a ghost

Of course, her ghost lived among the waves.

Blossom had grown up beside the sea, listening to it crash against the shore. Before everything fell apart. Before her life became something else. Before the world broke her across its knee and laughed when she cried.

Then we got taken by a big bird. Everything’s a little fuzzy.
