Kavya cupped her hands around her mouth and called as well, a hopeful, trembling sound, carried quickly away by the wind, leaving behind a heavier silence than before.

 
“Let’s check along that side,” Naveen said, pointing toward a bend in the shore where the sand rose into a small ridge, a natural vantage point.
 
They walked together, stepping over broken branches and twisted driftwood, sometimes pausing to search among scattered debris. Torn clothes, a dented can, each piece a fragment of someone’s life, a ghostly reminder of what had been lost. Naveen’s hands trembled slightly as he lifted each object, half-afraid, half-hopeful that he might find something familiar, some tiny anchor.
 
Near a rock, Kavya spotted a floating crate. “There’s something inside,” she said, kneeling to inspect it. The crate held a few packets of biscuits, damp but sealed, and two small water bottles.
 
Naveen exhaled, a slight, almost imperceptible smile breaking across his face. “That’s the best thing we could’ve found.”
 
She handed him one of the bottles, wiping her hands on the front of her dress. Her movements were composed, deliberate, yet her eyes betrayed constant vigilance, scanning the sea as though her family might emerge from the waves at any moment.
 
After drinking a few sips, Naveen said, “We’ll keep walking. There might be others inland. And if not… we’ll at least need shade before noon.”
 
She nodded, tying her wet, dark hair loosely behind her neck. The sunlight caught on the strands, making them glimmer faintly like fine silk. Even in fatigue and fear, she carried a quiet grace, a beauty shaped not by youth alone but by resilience and strength, the kind that made her seem almost untouchable by the chaos around them.
 
They gathered whatever looked useful, bits of rope, dry pieces of wood, a metal tin. Naveen found a thin shard of glass that could reflect sunlight; she located a shawl tangled around driftwood, enough to serve as a makeshift blanket.
 
By late morning, the sun had grown warmer, and the damp air thickened, clinging to their skin and weighing down their movements. They stopped near a cluster of trees where the sand gave way to soft grass, a rare touch of green and relief. Naveen dropped the crate, wiping sweat from his brow, and surveyed the small clearing.
 
“Let’s stay here for a bit,” he said. “We can go inland after resting.”
 
The girl sat down, leaning against a rock. Her eyes traced the endless line of the sea, a mixture of longing, fear, and awe reflected in their depth. The wind brushed her hair across her face, and she pushed it back absently, the motion simple yet graceful, a human rhythm amidst the chaos.
 
Neither of them spoke for a while. The silence was not heavy, instead, it was the quiet of people trying to understand the fragile reality that they had survived, the rare and tentative comfort of shared existence in a broken world.
