The Story of Sam the Squid Piercer

Chapter 7

Sakana: Sam killed the girl. To sail into the shining galaxy, he offered her red blood to the ship's engine. In the end, what Sam truly loved was not the girl, but his longing for the world out in the galaxy. The girl he loved had never been more than a flower adorning his journey. Sam got on the ship and sailed out into the galaxy. But soon, Sam realized... Though he was in the galaxy, he had dreamt of, all those worlds were different from the fish planet of his birth. The fish planet was but one world in the vast galaxy. The galaxy was not some far off world. Sam had been living in its brilliance all along. Why did he kill the girl?
