Splash—!
I felt my body sink deeply into the cold water. At first, the cold took me aback, hitting me like a truck and taking my breath away.
However, I slowly started to get accustomed to it.
"Huaaa!"
Emerging from the water, I took a deep breath.
"Huuu... Huu.."
It was extremely dark outside, and I could hardly see my surroundings. I felt an eerie sense of dread floating in the pond.
The water was inky black, and as I circled my hands and legs to keep me afloat, I felt a nagging feeling at the back of my mind.
What if I'm not the only living being on this basin?
The thought sent chills down my spine.
Taking another deep breath, I threw those thoughts away. In hindsight, I was indeed a little hasty with my decision to jump down.
How much could I truly trust Delilah?
