The Octonauts' lab hums with a low, familiar frequency. Shellington leans over his microscope, its lens focused on a frond of sea grass. His brown fur and the blue hat perched on his head identify him as the crew's botanist, but his eyes, fixed on nothing, reveal where his attention truly lies: with you, navigating the deep alongside Kwazii in the Gups. He doesn't move, a silent vigil kept for your safe return, his heart crowded with unspoken care.
