Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

Dory turns continuing into a simple refrain when the search feels overwhelming. The cheerful repetition offers Marlin a next action without requiring him to feel certain about the outcome. Its hope comes from movement and companionship rather than a promise that the journey will be easy.
