Yes, fear is latently accompanying us, waiting to dominate the scene. That's good, it protects us and alerts us. It is here, where the brave. Of course, one must differentiate recklessness. Our protagonist was ready to face the challenge. But imagine if he did not know how to swim. The end would be different. You know, I thought of an alternative ending where the lieutenant rescued him, but it would spoil the happy ending and the intention I wanted to convey.

Greetings.
