Summary
The two whales continue in a circle around the laboratory, and Jeongguk pushes himself farther into the sand, unsure of their behavior and how they’ll react to his presence.
Then, he hears the slightly smaller one begin to sing. Then he knows that there is something strange about these two. He’s praying that if nothing else, his earpiece is picking up the sound. The call isn’t the same as any he’s ever heard before. It’s too high pitch, nothing like the normal humpback whales in the area.

Caught in the waves of grief, Jeongguk is faced with the decision of remaining a crew member for the Omelas research lab or resurfacing permanently. When a pair of whales appear and grab his attention, he reconsiders what he knows about loneliness as he dives further into uncovering a new mystery of the deep blue sea.
