"I-I think so."
Thanks to the brief rest within the air pocket, Chihaya felt her body had recovered considerably.
I should probably remember the way back to the front deck, she thought. And it would be less of an effort to swim up than down. But then, Chihaya remembered something as she touched her forehead with her hand. Something important was missing.
"Oh, my goggles…"
She couldn’t help not saying it out loud. In the mess hall, she must have inadvertently taken off the goggles from her head after they were flooded and became useless. But now she was heading back, she might lose her way again with no goggles because of the darkness and the blurred vision. The thought of going back down into the dark water without them, with the salt stinging in her eyes, sent a subtle chill down Chihaya’s spine. She winced, as her cousin sat and watched.

I understand not illustrating these last couple of pages, as there’s barely any difference between them as far as changes to scenery go, but I would love to see more once Aya gets back into the water (which should be the next page or two) and begins her little undersea jaunt. One of my favorite pages of the original had the younger cousin showing off for Chihaya outside the window while the older of the pair was almost begging her to go up and breathe.

strange to imagine Chi in a google, she is barely seen with a diving mask or googles. but it makes perfect sense, and it adds to the peril of the situation :3
