   Summary

   Kei was chained to the bottom of a pool, and no matter how hard he thrashed and yanked and pulled and screamed, he couldn’t get his head above water. Eventually he stopped trying and allowed the water to fill his lungs. He learned how to survive. He grew gills, but they were lined with thorns. It was the only way he knew how to stay alive.

   Yamaguchi knew that Kei was chained to the bottom of the pool, but he held his breath and swam down there with him anyways. He didn’t leave him to wither and prune by himself. Kei would never be able convey how grateful he was for that.
