Dyssia hauls herself from the surf like a kaiju that's just heard about sushi and is in a hurry to try it.

"Dolce there's [i]so muczhfack!--"[/i]

Cursing and laughing and splashing at the waves, she hauls herself just far enough that she won't get slapped with the spray again, and tumbles, giggling like a lunatic, to sprawl on the sand.

"There's [i]so much[/i] down there!"

The words burble out like an excited stream--about how the light disappears the further down you go, about how your senses turn to nothing but heat and scent and electricity and actually do you have the electricity sense or not, she's never sure who has the electricity sense, and the [i]pressure![/i] Like being squeezed from all directions by the world's biggest weighted blanket, or the better kind of vacbed, and--And the tubes, at the very bottom! Plumes of smoke! There was this thing that was all eyes and tentacles and it was [i]very[/i] handsy, and the [i]reefs![/i] Like a rainbow dancing with a million smaller rainbows! There's a fish like a plate down there that's just the chillest thing ever and--

She stares up at the sky, focusing on nothing at all.

"There's [i]too[/i] much, Dolce. I could spend a decade exploring one reef, and till not know a tenth of everything there is to know. About that one area! There's an entire [i]planet![/i]"

Her face is a novel in large print. She's…

She's just one person. Very small in the face of all of this--less than a drop in the ocean. 

"Bella's right, I'm realizing. Just one planet--who could [i]use[/i] all of one planet? Who [i]needs[/i] all of one planet? Who can even [i]understand[/i] just the one planet--hold it in their head, understand everything about it, truly claim it as their own to be their homestead? Can hold billions of people and say 'these are mine, now and forever'?"

It's a very large wish for such a small person.

She keeps staring at the sky for a few more seconds, and then rolls onto her tummy to stare up at Dolce. The process is extensive and takes a few long seconds to fully reach the outlying regions of the tail.

"Have you figured out your wish already? We're nearly there, after all."
