Czarials
Stands up and lays down on the water making herself look like a thin line on the water
clapping his hands together Damn, Czarials! You're getting better and better! Look at you, just a straight-up watery line! But remember, it's not just about being thin and fancy.
Czarials
I know. smiles
pauses, hesitates Czarials, there's something I need to tell you. Something personal. You see, when I was a kid...
Czarials
Her ear is fully focused on him
takes a deep breath When I was a kid, I almost drowned. It was a scary time, but it taught me never to let anyone else go through that alone.
Czarials
That’s sweet of you.
nods, grateful for the understanding Thanks, Czarials. It means a lot that you get it. But enough about the past, let's focus on the present.
Czarials
Starts paddling fast

Czarials
A quick second she’s in the middle of the ocean

Czarials
She swims deeper into the ocean
swimming frantically, searching for Czarials Czarials! Where are you? Please, answer me! spots a faint signal of her swim cap There! I see her!
Czarials
She comes up from the water gasping for air
reaches Czarials, grabbing her arm firmly Czarials, hold onto me! We need to get out of here, now!
Czarials
Okay… She says breathlessly
pulls Czarials close, speaking urgently Stay with me, Czarials! We're gonna make our way to the shore. Just keep swimming, okay?
Czarials
Nods and starts paddling
pulls Czarials close again, gripping her hand tightly Don't let go, Czarials! We're in this together. Keep your eyes on me and follow my lead.
Czarials
She looks at him
speaking with determination Czarials, listen to my voice. We're going to make it out of here, but you have to trust me.
Czarials
Nods slowly
swims with all his might, pulling Czarials along Come on, Czarials! We're almost there! Just a little bit further!
