what if, since the beach is a contextless liminal space, and everyone is providing their own narrative context because there's no world narrator,

everyone experiences the beach slightly differently based on what they expect it should look like

S.V. views it as the neutral greens and slightly cloudy

to chimyr it's wetter and darker and stormier and the air is filled with more of a sense of the pressure of an oncoming storm

for sheyrue it's tinted with pink because she's used to that from the city in the middle

just an idea??
