Fish-gazing.
taken: day 123
witnesses: N/A
You're fourteen years old when you stop to gaze out at the ocean that surrounds Euphoria, standing close to the sturdy glass of the walkway so as not to impede the foot traffic passing by.
To human eyes, the sea would be incomprehensibly dark this far below the surface if it wasn't for the thousands of lights affixed to the city's many buildings. Not just industrial lights meant to aid the maintenance men who bolster Euphoria's structural integrity from the outside in their heavy scuba gear, but the glowing neon signs that advertise the underwater civilization's various businesses and attractions. Combined, they're enough to illuminate the watery depths into an ethereal blue-green color that could arguably be considered beautiful. Fish swim by with purposeful movements, either heedless or uncaring of the artificial trappings that signify a large human presence in their midst.
You acknowledge the visual appeal of what you see in a distant, academic sort of way, letting yourself feel neither fear nor wonder. The ocean is indeed beautiful, but also dangerous. It cannot be treated lightly, as less than it is. Such a truth is one you understand with an ease that comes from an almost dutiful familiarity.

● Euphoria is once again shown to have been built upon the ocean floor.
● The fish that can be seen are those that would typically be found in the Atlantic Ocean of a typical Earth.
● Despite knowing on a personal level that the ocean is a ruthless force, he's not afraid of it, nor is he mystified by it.
