❝Oh…I never told anyone about it…Well
you see when I was around 8, my family and I
went to the beach during the summer time.
I was playing on the sand until…
a giant wave came out of nowhere and
pulled me into the water.
It…It was very scary,
I couldn’t breath or see…
I honestly thought I was going to die
until my dad saved me. Ever since then
I avoided the water…I don’t even
take baths anymore!❞She glanced at Gou and then blushed brightly, this was the first time she ever told this story to anyone. Only her family knew about it after all. The black haired girl covered her face and laughed nervously.
❝I know…It’s pretty stupid, but that’s why I’m scared…❞
Made sense enough. Gou knew how dangerous the ocean could be under the right circumstances, her father and last year’s training camp incident were proof enough of that. While Gou personally didn’t go in the ocean simply because she didn’t know how to swim and her doing so would be asking for trouble, she knew she’d be very cautious if she ever did so after learning.
Shaking her head to reassure the noir that no, Gou didn’t think she was being anything of the sort, she also gave Usagi’s shoulder a gentle squeeze.
“I don’t think it’s stupid, I would’ve been frightened too if that’d been me. Oto-san showed me how dangerous the ocean can be if you’re not careful or just unlucky, so I can understand the fear.” Then a related question came to her mind. “Do you know how to swim, or no?”
