“The shark bobbed his massive head. Impressions of ancient agreements, sensations of collaboration and kuleana, of working together to take care of what needed to be taken care of, flowed over Lei.

More like he was reminding them that this is how it always was and always should be. They had a connection and a responsibility to one another.”
