“The Twilight swears the Sound Beneath is the sun, remembering the sea — the light calling down to the dark it left behind. The seers have no evidence. The seers have never needed evidence.”
The Twilight's theory: the sun remembers.

“Nothing passes overhead that Barreleye does not see first.”
A Lurelight denizen of The Twilight

Barreleye has spent its whole life looking straight up. When the scientists finally photographed it, they found the head was a living window — the eyes swivel inside the fluid dome like instruments in an observatory. The Twilight trusts its weather reports: when Barreleye's eyes go wide, the migration fleet changes course.
Every dusk it takes its station beneath the migration lanes and reads the sinking silhouettes the way a harbor master reads sails. Lately it has been watching one patch of water longer than the others — the patch where the Sound was last heard, three years ago.
The seers say a day is coming when something crosses the light overhead that has no silhouette at all. Barreleye will be the first to know, because Barreleye looks up for a living.

The Twilight's theory: the sun remembers.
The last blue light, 200 to 1,000 meters down. Every night the lanternfish rise in the greatest migration on Earth — and every dawn, those who do not return feed the Midnight.
