"Lake. I don't know this word. It means a sea surrounded by stone, as this one is?"

She shakes her head. "This sea, this lake, is colder than the sea of Shora, and it's true that it isn't as salt. Neither is it full of fish and squid, nor is there a reef, nor are there raft seedlings to be found floating on currents. But of course, Beacon is generally not as... alive, as Shora is."

She has some serious concerns about the plantlife and the continued lack of sunlight.
