The staff allowed the children to remain with their guardians as they entered the aquarium. The crowd funneled through a wide corridor. Opened into a large hall. A glass tank stretched floor to ceiling along the far wall.
Arianne stopped half a step behind Lily and Leo, positioning herself slightly to their left so she could see both their profiles and the tank.
They pressed their palms to the glass. The surface felt cool beneath their hands.
Leo looked back at Arianne. Pointed at a fish.
"I see it," she said.
Blue light moved through the tank and across their faces. It did not remain in one place for long.
Leo tapped the glass. The fish didn't react.
He looked at Arianne again, confused.
"They can't feel it through the glass," she said quietly.
He nodded. Tapped again anyway.
Fish passed in loose groups. Some moved together before separating. Others swam alone, passing larger shapes that kept a steadier path through the water.
