"the ocean was back in the pond, and the only knowledge I was left with, as if I had woken up from a dream on a Sumer's day, was that it had not been long ago since I had known everything"

"this is the kind of water you can breathe. I thought, perhaps there is just a secret to breathing water, something simple that everyone could do, if they only knew"

everything is coming together lowk... opal miner metaphor, the shadows/darkness lingering as a representation of adulthood and human nature, alice in wonderland references, ocean/water as both restricting and cleansing

and it wasn’t the sea. it was the ocean.
