Into the Dark, part 19 (after battle)
Ahab's commands led us straight to her singular goal, the heart.
<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.
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.
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.
It's your job, clockhead. Fish her back up. The lass is sinking.
Broke it. Captain's orders.
Broke Captain's orders. Can't see sunset again.
No, you can. You'll see the sunset again. As long as you sail your own path...
Because we'll get to the heart. No matter what.
Ah...!
Can you hear that? The distant beating of the heart.
The heart, beating...
<It'll take us some time... But let's pay close attention to the heartbeat and feel our way there.>
