[Nona strolls along the aquarium, running her hands over the glass and saying 'hello' and 'I love you' to all the fishies. It's nice, if a little nostalgic.
She's not sure what she's feeling nostalgia for. Maybe the beach at home with all the jellyfish that kill anyone who enters except for her who they just tickle.
Actually, there's some jellyfish now! Her eyes brighten and she runs to the jellyfish tank.]
Jellyfish! Are you okay? Are you swimming? Why aren't you in the salt? Oh, it's so good to see you again.
[And she seems to... hug the tank.]
2. Planetarium
[She can't recognize these stars, or this perspective. She sits with cross legs and watches the visage above, and she can't help but feel a little sad.
She thinks in her dream she was lying on a sleeping bag in the sand, and He was pointing the stars out. Not for her benefit, but for his own. He didn't want to forget.]
What planet are we on, I wonder? Do you know?
3. Beach
[It's another day, and she ends it like she always does. In the sea, on the beach, her braid undone and he cares melted away. She can find peace, maybe because she's not afraid of drowning, or of being taken by the sea and devoured. She thinks, in some way, that the sea loves her too. Maybe not quite as much as she loves it, but it still loves her.
I still love you.]
I wish I could stay here forever. Maybe at the bottom of it all.
[It's a wistful thought, but one she believes with the entirety of her heart. She wonders if the other girls she might be would have wanted to stay in the chlorine forever. She thinks they would. Maybe that's one point of commonality between all of them.]
