Mohan stood at the shore angrily throwing sticks in the sand.

"It's not like what you said to your dad, while standing on a boat." Sina said jokingly, approaching him.

"I didn't say go beyond the reef because I want to be on the ocean." Mohan stated.

"But you still do. He's hard on you because…"

"Because he doesn't get me."

"Because he was like you, drawn to the ocean." Sina took a seat by Mohan on a bent tree as she retold the tale.

"Down by the shore. He took a canoe, Mohan. He crossed the reef and found an unforgiving sea, waves like mountains. His best friend begged to be on that boat. [M/n] lost a husband that day, and [Y/n] lost her father."

Mohan gasped softly at this and turned his gaze to the other side of the island where [Y/n] and her mother we're drawing water from the sea, smiling softly at each other.

Sina placed a hand on her sons shoulder.

"Your dad couldn't save him, he's hoping he can save you. Sometimes, who we wish we were, what we wish we can do, is just not meant to be."

She got up and left, leaving Mohan to his thoughts. He drew closer to the ocean and then sighed.

MOHAN:
I've been staring at the edge of the water
Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect leader
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
I know everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied, if I played along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea
It's blinding
And no one knows how deep it goes
And it feels like it's calling out to me so come find me
And let me know
What's beyond that line? Will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea
It calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
How far I'll go………………
