Hello? There are these things called “swimming” and even “floating”. She may be at the bottom of the well, but she’s not glued to the bottom.

It’s a good logic of writing this time. She’s heavy drenched with clothes, almost unable to move, because of hypothermia – 2 days in water moving to keep alive, November water’s are cold. Your body reacts differently when paralyzed as when it’s not. Even if she’d have been for two days in 30°C it’s still below body temperature, so she would become stiff anyway. That way you don’t float but sink.

As someone who learnt to swim because I cannot actually float (my swimming teacher’s face was hilarious), this screen is giving me the heeby jeebies.
Do we have confirmation that Dong Joo can do more than wade? She didn’t grow up on an island, after all…
