At night in Amnest Bay, Aquaman stands in the shore and reminisces about a time when he was a child with his father. As they watched the sea, Aquaman asked his father why was he a lighthose keeper when he could be the captain of his own ship, and his father replied that the captains needed someone on land to help them watch the shores, and it is called responsibility. As he finishes dwelling on his memories, Mera comes to Aquaman and asks if he is okay.
