On the 23rd day at sea.
Upon waking, Ming noticed Raoul leap off the ship into the ocean's embrace. Stunned, Ming wondered if Raoul was going through some existential crisis. Then, Frank transformed into a werewolf and dove into the water after him. Could the wolf, too, be having second thoughts about life?
Soon after, Raoul emerged from the water like a dolphin, tracing a perfect parabola before diving back in and then leaping out again.

Ming, watching from the shore, was puzzled. Had they somehow evolved to possess gills?
What was especially peculiar was the way Raoul swam with his six arms. The speed at which he moved created a wake behind him, resembling the propulsion of a six-cylinder engine. Frank, with only two arms, naturally lagged behind.
After a while, they returned to the shore. Ming observed that they had indeed evolved: Raoul leaped from one-star epic level straight to three-star epic.
