章節 131: Chapter 131: Aurora Realizes Her Feelings / 2 Become 3, Part 8

The relative rarity of sea glass nowadays can be attributed to the prevalence of another type of ocean waste: Plastic waste, which when not taken care of, will get unknowingly swallowed by whales and other creatures and choke them to death.

While we're bummed out by the lack of these washed-up treasures, we unknowingly score another kind of treasure.

Perching atop a rock on another part of the shore is an MP3 player and its accompanying earphones.

Judging from its appearance, the usage of an old-style gray LCD screen, and its usage of a single AAA battery, this MP3 player seems to be released around the year I was born.

Coincidentally, I have with me a spare AAA battery in my shirt pocket, due to the fact that I slipped it in that pocket yesterday, while I was replacing the batteries for our TV's remote control.
