I don’t wait for his response as I pull back and leave the room. My heart is beating hard as I make my way outside, walking towards my favorite spot near the Black Lake. I can’t sit down, my body is buzzing with anger and overwhelmed with the new information. The Giant Squid breaks the surface with a tentacle and wave. I can’t help myself and give him a wave back. He might just stretch his limbs, but I like to think he waves and it is only polite to wave back.
