The current rolls him onto his side as it lifts him and he looks back down the way he came. Calm rather than frightened. The strands of keys are the water itself, sparse and dotted, and he is passing through thousands of the thing he is looking for without seeing one of them. SUPERSEDED 2.9.2026, MEMORY 28f. The vortex carries NO KEYS. Not a wall, not chains, not a scattering. Keys in the passage discover too much: they tell the audience what he is looking for before he knows it himself, and the film has then said the word before he reaches the key door. It is a soft, gentle vortex of CLOUD, nothing sharp and nothing to read. Regenerating.
