I would like to come ashore.

Ashore? Why would a fish want that?

I have come up from the deep ocean searching for a place to die.

A place to die...

Maybe if I help, it'll give me a tamatebako...? The jeweled box from the legend of Urashima Tarou.

Alright. Come a little closer.

What a well-behaved jellyfish.

Is here fine?

Yes, here. Thank you very much.

Still, if even fish are committing suicide, there's no hope for the future.

Truthfully, there's a veeeery deep reason for my doing this...

We lancetfish are born in the shallows of Suruga Bay...

Before long, we dive into the depths of the ocean where we grow into adults.
