He used to be so in tuned with time, so sensitive to the brief shifts of momentum. Nowadays, everything simply existed for the sake of existing. Time was present without Elijah having to acknowledge it, the world still breathed without Elijah having to watch it. It all felt overwhelmingly surreal. Dreamlike, fleeting, intangible. At any moment, the veil that covered his eyes would drop and shatter. The boy shudders a breath, focusing his sight towards the Captain's imposing presence. He had no problems with foul language, he heard it all the time as a child, yet it carried an unfamiliarity to him. It was as if her voice were alien to him. She was supposed to be the same, wasn't she? The shining constant of The Typhoon, the one who made it feel like home. Elijah bites his bottom lip. More welcomes, more trouble with The Pitt, temporary alliances and punishments. Temporary this, temporary that. He doesn't want to think about it. Not even the gods are eternal. Everything was too frail.

'Temporary leadership', someone who would look after the island in Goldenluxury's absence. Elijah doesn't move an inch, uninterested in the reach for responsibility. Despite everything, he still felt like a stranger to this land. He was born here and yet everything to him was alien. Intriguing.
