DescriptionAfter resuscitating Carolyn, Nathan fills her in on recent events before they climb back to a higher level of the cave system. “Frost... you killed him, didn't you?” “Yes. After pushing you off the ledge, he charged me, and I couldn't do anything else.” (Carolyn kisses Nathan.) “You jumped in to help me without a moment's thought. I owe you my life, Nathan. We’re not engaged or anything. It's just a kiss to say, 'Thank you.'” “I appreciate that. Now we have to think about getting out of here.” “Let's stay a little longer, shall we? I'm trying to regain my strength, but I feel very cold.” (He embraces her.) “Is that better?” “Yes. It's the fear. Death by drowning must be truly terrible. Terrible. I couldn't control my body. The whirlpool dragged me down. But I wanted to live, despite everything. I clung to the water, as if… as if it were a solid thing, to get back to the surface. I tried hard, but then I felt a pang in my lungs, and I had to breathe the water. That was the worst moment. When I ran out of oxygen, I thought about my brother. In the end, what a terrible thing happened to him, and there was no one to help him, like what was happening to me. And now I want to cry.” “Go ahead and cry, Carolyn. You should have done this a long time ago.” As explained several pages before, Carolyn's younger brother drowned in a swimming pool, and her father was also drowned by Frost. Whereas the main story is about an absence of water. Social/Sharing |

A viscious cycle of drowning prevented by Nathan, but the fear from past trauma are only enhanced by this near death experience for Carolyn. A tender moment shared between vulnerable characters.

It's a lot of lingering on Carolyn's face repeating that angle for multiple panels. The silent panel at the end really adds emphasis to their isolation and stillness with no avenues to go forward.

It would have been better for Page 203 panel 2 to have a different angle than the panels preceding and following it. In Italian comics, the writers often play the role of cinematographer, instructing the artist how to draw the scene, when sometimes (arguably, usually) that would be better left to the artist.

Its a nice and tender page with Nathan comforting Carolyn. I also the water tie in to the storyline that you mentioned.
