Song of the Dolphin Boy / int_415257d9 | comment |
Mess of Woe: After Finn's mother disappeared, his father stopped working, cleaning the house, or tending the garden. The inside of their cottage is very dark because weeds and filth have covered the windows. The day after he tells Finn that his mother was a selkie, Finn is surprised to see him hacking away at the weeds for the first time in years. | |

Song of the Dolphin Boy / int_8ac2f6f9 | comment |
Call Reception Area: Finn's father has always strictly forbidden him from going in water, even a bathtub. When he and his classmate Charlie get in a fight, Charlie chases him to the harbour, and Finn, backing away, accidentally falls in. Amazed by how safe and comfortable he feels in the water, Finn swims out to sea. | |
