[He's too distracted to pay much mind to the hand on his shoulder.] No, it's not the sunset...
[What he's seeing under the water is blue, and it's moving. He thought it was just an optical illusion with how the waves are coming in, but no, it's moving against the current, kind of swaying side to side like it's reaching for something but can't quite find it. It's hypnotic, and familiar in a way.
It stops abruptly, and the water stills, but just for a moment. Suddenly, the glowing thing bursts up out of the waves with a terrible screech that echoes over the island. It's a Kaiju. Otachi. The one that came to Earth specifically to hunt down Newt and kill him. She barrels toward the shore, sending up sprays of seawater all around her, her mouth a bright blue as her jaws spread to howl at him again.
Newt yelps and stumbles backward. He grabs for Prussia, both trying to right himself and to get her to run too, but he goes down, landing on his ass in the sand. Otachi is too fast, anyway. They can't outrun a Kaiju. Maybe if Otachi gets him, it'll leave Prussia and Austria alone, at least.
But then, she's gone. The water is calm, and by the look of it, it's always been calm. There's no Kaiju here.
...What? He just sits in the sand, heart pounding, trying to figure out what the hell just happened.]
