Summary: The sea has taken all that Starbuck has ever known: his father, his brothers, his wish for a peaceful future with the woman he loves. Now, he fears, it has taken his only friend as well.

He misses Ahab, so much that it is sending him spiraling away from all his known lovings and comforts. He misses Ahab, so much that he would do anything to feel that even a piece of him is still here. He misses Ahab, and he burns. Oh, how he burns.
