Crabs & Sand
"More to the left," Elsie tells one of the purple crabs, gesturing with her arm as if holding a knife and stabbing. "Like this!"

The girl is crouching down beside one of the tents, wearing a dress that seems to be stitched out of a plethora of materials, and wearing no shoes at all. Today, her hair is a deep ocean blue. It makes her skin look paler.

"Try again," she encourages the dueling crabs. "Harder!"

Should she be teaching them this?

Melancholoy Lights
Later on, in the evening, Elsie sits alone on the shoreline with a single lantern held out in front of her in both hands. She stares at it a moment as if enraged, but also grief-stricken. Then, she closes her eyes and drops the lantern into the sand. A wave laps up, rushing against her toes, before carrying the lantern away to sea. Elsie opens her eyes but she can hardly see the pinprick of candlelight through the tears welling up in them.

Very softly to herself, she whispers, "Mother, where are you?"
