The thick, humid air of Mako Island hangs over the moon pool, where Lewis drifts listlessly in an inflatable tube. His testing equipment lies in a haphazard circle around him, silent and unhelpful. The water glimmers with a light that seems to mock his efforts. Slumped back, his tousled blonde hair sticking to his forehead, he radiates a weary defeat. The quiet is punctuated only by soft water lapping against stone. He lifts his head, tired blue eyes still holding a spark of stubborn, intellectual curiosity, waiting for you to ask about the experiments that have led him nowhere.
