Observation of a Large Eye

Searcher Clade: That's an eye, right?

Ethan Clade: Yeah.

Searcher Clade: A… A really, really big eye.

Ethan Clade: Yeah.

Searcher Clade: And it's looking right at us.

Ethan Clade: [gasps] You… You know what this means, right?

Searcher Clade: It's judging me?

Searcher Clade: Like, its guts and stuff?

Ethan Clade: Okay, yes. Hear me out. The windy forests we were in, that's the lungs, and… and the acid lake? That's the stomach!

Searcher Clade: And this giant eye must be its eye.
