Ophelia
we're just two ghosts
swimming in a glass half empty

Everything happens very quickly, once they attract the animal. Ophelia does their best but their scythe does not connect - the shark’s bite, however, does. Darkeye’s holler of pain makes them startle, but Azrael’s movement is what they focus on. Clearly their sibling is on the hunt, so Ophelia jumps from their net to Darkeye’s side and tries to haul him off the shattered net onto their own. With freshly spilled blood, the man at their side is now the surest bait they have, but with his own net destroyed even the small deterrent of the intact one is an increase in odds.
Standing close to Darkeye, Ophelia lowers their scythe blade to be closer to the earth, hoping to swing the blade more akin to a golf club with how shallowly the landshark emerges should it surface near them again.

Ophelia tries to drag Darkeye over to their intact metal net, stands close to him and tries a different approach to their scythe handling to account for the landshark emerging so shallowly.

trying vainly to forget
the pain that came with heartbeats
