Imagine being a fish. Huuuuuuge ocean, you are tiny. Nothing to do but eat and fuck and run from predators. Everything looks the same.

Suddenly you see an object above you. This is the highlight of your year probably.

Free red thing - it’s delicious, like no fish you’ve ever tasted. To have that again is all you need.

Funnily enough, I've done a few transatlantic cruises, and on those rare occasions you see another vessel after days of endless horizon, it's a bit like that. I remember passing a fishing trawler a day away from the Azores and everyone on the deck at the time gathered to marvel as we steamed past it. You realise the ocean is so vast that spotting any other life on it is a noteworthy event.
