the problem about chasing white whales is that you compromise your wellbeing and humanity doing it, and then when you come home, turns out you have to be a normal human being, you have to talk to gentlemen you forgot the name of, you have to show up to the bank and argue that you're still alive and please give me my money back, and all this, with the new leg, and the new gashes in your flesh, and the distant howling song of the whale in your ears. her cursed melody still ringing like an ominous wind. are you even sure she's dead?
