Actually, it’s not so much that the abyss looks back at you, as much as it was happily doing its own little exploring thing, all excited about seeing non-abyssness and wondering if it’s like the postcards and where should it eat its bring-along picnic and oh no did it forget the camera, and you just came and blocked its view. Probably really confused it besides – unless you happen to feature in its special pocket guidebook?

Thought not.
