Out in the middle of the ocean, Shirogane wished he had made better choices early on in his life. He sails in his dinky boat, aiming his harpoon nervously at the water in hopes that he won't have to use it in the end. He really shouldn't have made that bet with Rock...
"Shirogane!" Yukisada cries from above, gliding in bird form over towards Shirogane's boat before turning back into his human form.
Shirogane looks away from Yukisada, prepping himself for the lecture he's about to receive.
"You shouldn't be out here! Forget what Rock says and come back home!" Yukisada berates.
Shirogane stays silent for a moment before sighing to himself.
"Alright... Let's head back ho-" He stops mid sentence, ears folded against his skull in fear as he sees a giant tentacle rise from the waters behind Yukisada.
"Y-Y-Yukisada! Watch out!" He screams, moving in front of his beloved friend to shield him from the attack.
The tentacle strikes down onto Shirogane, slamming him headfirst into the floor of the boat, blood pooling around his skull. He's knocked out in an instance.
"Shiro! Please, wake up!" Yukisada cries out, trying to shake Shirogane awake. Another tentacle appears from the depths and quickly strikes down onto the surprisingly durable wooden boat, causing Yukisada to turn into an owl and get separated from Shirogane.
The owl looks nervously at Shirogane, realizing he won't be able to carry him in this form and quickly flies back to the isle as fast as he can, in hopes of getting help.
As Yukisada flies away, the wolf slowly opens his eyes and takes a deep breath, only for the boat to be pushed over by more tentacles, said tentacles dragging him down into the icy ocean.
He tries desperately to hold his breath but the shock of the cold water causes him to gasp, breathing in cold water into his lungs.
He tries to cough but coughing only leads to more water seeping into his airways.
He's cold, and before long the world goes dark. The last thing he sees are the rays of sun hitting the surface of the ocean.

"Thank you so much for saving him Rocma! It really means a lot to me."
"Whatever. Both of you are idiots to have been so far out." Rocma looks to the side before mumbling. "How is he....?"
"Not so good. He has severe head trauma and was without oxygen for almost a solid minute. We are lucky he is even alive!" Yukisada sighs. "Hopefully there won't be any lasting damage from this, but he may be asleep for a hot minute..."
"...." Rocma stays silent before turning and leaving. Yukisada doesn't even bother to stop her, knowing she has better things to do than wait around all day for Shirogane to wake up.
Yukisada quietly opens the door to Shirogane's room, looking upon the wolf's comatose body. He moves his hand against Shirogane's face, using his thumb to brush out the hairs covering his left eye, revealing the scarred left eye of the wolf.
"I just wish you could see how amazing you are. I wish you could see what I see in you..." Yukisada frowns before petting Shirogane's head.
"Get some rest buddy." He sighs before silently leaving Shirogane's room, awaiting for the wolf to awake from his slumber.
