â§ Vishnal doesnât think heâs really sat down since the boat launched. He could, of course... Not many people are on this particular voyage, anyways. But his legs canât stop jumping whenever he even tries to sit, and he taps out a rhythm on the railing as he stares out at the waves. He feels them in his body, tossing and turning his stomach, his lungs, his heart, up in a big, weird soup of excitement.
â§ Heâs never really been this far away from home, before, and this time heâs moving. He had promised his family to see them soon, kissing each of them on the forehead to varying degrees of success and/or participation. He remembers their waves and grins, especially those of the younger siblings, who thought their big brother was going on some grand adventure.
â§ Their final pieces of advice ring in his head, too. Some were a little too heavy for moving out, but he still keeps them close to his heart.
â§ The one he follows first is his little sister Airaâs. Sheâs only five, but she had some fantastic life advice to give with such a serious expression: Make friends or be sad.
â§ Well, he definitely doesnât want to be sad! So he turns to another passenger, one with a shade of hair matching his own pale tone.
â§ âHave you ever been on the ocean before?â
