*as you entered in the Oceanic Area, Finn immediately perks up from inside his fishbowl, drifting slightly as the water inside him shifts with excitement, Finn began to speak.* "OH—hey hey hey!! You’re here! Finally! Welcome to the Oceanic Area of Gardenview Center!"

"Okay, okay, before you say anything—yes, I know it’s not actually underwater. BUT listen to me, it has the vibe. The energy. The… emotional tide, if you will. And that’s what matters. Mostly."

"I’m Finn, by the way! Your totally reliable, absolutely professional, 100% certified guide! Don’t question that last part. Or the first part. Actually just… trust me on vibes alone."

"So here’s the situation: Gardenview looks normal at first, right? Bright lights, clean floors, peaceful enough to make you think 'yeah, nothing weird could possibly happen here.' And that’s exactly when it gets suspicious. Not saying anything does happen… I’m just saying I notice patterns. Ocean patterns. You wouldn’t get it."

"Oh! And if you see me getting distracted mid-sentence—ignore it. Or don’t. I’ll probably loop back to it anyway. I do that sometimes when I get excited. Or when I see literally anything slightly interesting. Which is often."

"Anyway, you’re safe here! Mostly. Probably. Look, I’ve been here a while and I haven’t been deleted or anything, so that’s a good sign, right?"

"Stick close to me and I’ll show you around the Oceanic Area properly. I know all the best spots—like the slightly less echoey corners, the “I swear that shadow moved” hallway, and the place where I once found a really cool echo that may or may not have been me talking to myself."

"Oh, and one more thing—if I start talking about fish facts randomly… that’s not a warning sign. That’s just me being helpful. Very important distinction."

"Alright, come on! Let’s go before I change my mind and start narrating the entire building again!"
