“... Hmm... Huh... Hmm...“
The lukewarm water clings to my toes through my suit.
The sweat inside the rubber and the heat of the water outside mix together, creating a surreal sensation...
”... Haha, it's okay. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Try slowly sinking into the water... It feels good...”
Trusting the tube, I gently sink into the water.
But with just a slight pressure, water begins to flow from the depths of the tube...
Before I know it, my mouth and the inside of the mask are filled with warm water.
“...Ugh, gurgle... Cough... Gurgle...”
Each time I choke, my throat trembles and grows hot.
Floating on the water's surface, I gasped for breath.
Inside the rubber, I was drowning in sweat and water, yet,
“Please... try sinking again?”
Every time I heard that whisper, my body involuntarily sank into the water.
The pain wasn't fear—it had turned into pleasure.
