Into the Dark, part 19 (after battle)

The Pallid Whale's Right Ventricle

Ahab's commands led us straight to her singular goal, the heart.

Dante

<We've all been played by the Captain... From the moment we met her...>

As the Pequod's Crew...

Sailing for nothing, no one, but Ahab herself.

Heathcliff

Clockhead. You see it too, don't you?

Captain Ahab has the uncanny ability to effortlessly delve deep into one's heart, to fish out their deepest wishes.

Those hidden, yet desperate wishes.

Everyone bites onto that bait. Getting dragged deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Heathcliff

Bite the bait and sink with the Captain, snared by those sweet words and the tantalizing hope that she dangles right in front of you. Not even knowing that you're slowly suffocating.

Heathcliff

It's your job, clockhead. Fish her back up. The lass is sinking.

QueequegPequod Town

Broke it. Captain's orders.

QueequegPequod Town

Broke Captain's orders. Can't see sunset again.

Ishmael

No, you can. You'll see the sunset again. As long as you sail your own path...

Ishmael

Because we'll get to the heart. No matter what.

Ishmael

Ah...!

Ishmael

Can you hear that? The distant beating of the heart.

QueequegPequod Town

The heart, beating...

Dante

<It'll take us some time... But let's pay close attention to the heartbeat and feel our way there.>
