His attention is wholly captured by the book in his hands, its pages rustling, and its vividly colored cover hinting at the captivating story within. His expression is one of deep focus and serene contentment, completely absorbed in the narrative.
Unbeknownst to him, the sea has risen around him, creating a striking contrast to his tranquil state.

This gradual immersion underscores his utter absorption in the book, oblivious to the beautiful yet encroaching sea surrounding him.
