Conceptualization: Two birds on a wire, whistling by the seaside. Looking at the water. And a sunken car.

Shivers: The wind blows. In the distance, behind the church, some vagrants are having an argument over a bag of tare they found in the reeds. Further away -- a flock of sea gulls lands.

You: "Can you make out the marque now?"
