After a long silence and only the calming sound of the waves developing around Rex and Seraphina, she uttered the moment she opened her eyes.

"Rex, what do you want if you ever make it out of this mess?"

For some time, Rex didn't answer. Though he knew exactly what Seraphina was asking, alas, he too didn't know the answer. A question he never dared to ask himself -- What will he do or what does he really want if he ever made it out of this big mess?

Not receiving any response, Seraphina's eyes softened as she peered at the seemingly never-ending horizon. For her, she could look at it forever as it gave her the idea of peace and tranquility. It was dangerous, but that is how the world works.
