The Niamh reveal at the end got me, especially tying it back to the Yeats epigraph. That's such a nice payoff. And I love that you let Felipe stay confused and a little annoyed instead of wrapping it all up neatly, that felt real, like actual magic should leave people a little unsettled.
Also just have to say, Anita realizing she can hear Angie because "kids are different" is such a sweet, quiet detail. This whole voyage had a good balance of playful and eerie. Can't wait to see where Jack goes next!
The part where Anita became able to hear and speak with Angie and Seph was lots of fun, and then Ananta still not being able to see and hear them was a fun way for that scene to continue; and it was also fun to know John’s thought process for whether they needed a bigger boat and how he decided that it wasn’t necessary because he hadn’t ever specified exactly how big the boat was. 💯
Thank you for sharing this excellent chapter with us readers! 🙏

I'm glad you liked it.
Yes, Felipe's skepticism. I am a scientist myself, so I just imagined how i would feel.
Love this!

John is getting older, and starting to think more about details like wheterh everyone can fit in the Sea Devil.
