Maria stared, wide-eyed, her body as still frozen but her mind racing.
"W–what the… fuck?" she muttered weakly, her voice barely audible.
The pain still coursed through her veins, but her mind was too shocked to process it. The shark.. that shark she recognized it instantly.
"Isn't that… the same shark he caught on the ship?" she said aloud, little disbelief dripping from every word.
Her mind replayed the memory Razeal capturing the creature, the strange bag he made afterward.
"Wait, he made the bag out of this shark…" she murmured, her voice trembling with both confusion and awe. "But… it was alive all this time?"
"Huh he can… do this? Transform a living creature into a fucking bag?!"
Her head spun, even more now from the shock than from the pain.
"Just… how the hell does he even do that?" she whispered.
Her chest still ached, but somewhere deep inside, she felt a tiny spark of realization.
