The ocean serves as an active antagonist, leaving a deep psychological impression. Instead of offering quick resolutions, the tale maintains sustained tension throughout. This technique allows the fear of invisible dangers to spread across the pages. The final product asks readers to immerse themselves in the mood and setting rather than just following events.
