Going back to the story, the side short story, about the child and the grownup who wander around Walden. They keep that day perfectly in their memory, and it comes back to eahc of them in flashes, and in the stories they tell before going to sleep.
These are the moments they use to bring them comfort, to CALM them down. The larger framework that holds the stories of the dragons.
When they are on the shore, it's an old woman who wakes up to a little boy. They go 1/4 way around, and the boy is a teen and the woman gets younger. 1/2 way around they are the same age. 3/4 of the way, she's a teen and he's a man. By the time they get back to the shore, he's old and she's a kid. He asks to lie down on the sand and he goes to sleep=death.
ALSO: brother and sister on a completely HYPER-REALISTIC DAY.
