บท 63: Curious gaze (2)

Christian got tired of hearing Michael call for help and reached out to grab Michael's arms and pull him back to where he was safe. "How can you climb every tree you come across but not swim? We've travelled through water before, and the water here isn't that deep," Christian said, trying to process how he almost killed Michael.
