“Here is what the sea smells like.
It is more texture than scent, because the sea is primarily made of two substances that have no smell of their own: water and salt. Salt has no smell, but makes the air sting, and so all of the other smells of the sea are layered upon the pang of salt. Water has no smell but instead a comfort. We feel moisture as life and so the smells of the ocean are layered upon the contentment of the water. Salt is treble and water is bass. I don’t know how I know this is true, but I know it is true.
The sea smells like old wood and wet leaves. Like cold mud and warm stone. Like every creature who has ever lived in it, a churning graveyard and nursery. Like winds from the inland carrying the hot circulation of life and winds from the ocean carrying the distant froth of waves against ships and islands. Like gray, only more so. Like blue, only less so.”

Toto’s Africa is sooo Chris and Jill’s song (post) RE5 song.
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you! (Chris never gave up that she was alive)
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do! (boy battled through countless enemies to find her)
I bless the rains down in Africa!
(Just think about how it rained the day Jill fell from the window, so
rainy days were probably hard for him, but he finally found her in
Africa)
Gonna take the time to do the things we never haaaaaaddddddd (Ooo!) (Oh! Does that mean they’re finally gonna be a couple? :P)
I would love to flesh this out in the future, but I doubt it.
