Still past tense; Chuck nods once and runs, moving past Raleigh and hightailing it for the sea.
He's at the beach where it started; it's owned by Sam now, and tainted, but it's always empty. He tears his clothes off of him, throwing his shoes into the trees like he hates them, and dives into the water with his skin wrapped around him.
The water feels so good, and his skin fits around him like it always did. He was afraid he'd grow and the skin wouldn't, it wouldn't fit right, but it's perfect it's fine and he's back.
He wants to stick to the coastline for a while, keep an eye on where Raleigh goes but as soon as Sam sees he's gone he'll come after the single seal hanging around the island, it's a no-go. So he swims. He looks for his pod, for his dad; he's actually looking forward to hearing the 'i told you so'.
