Sometimes to drown you don't need water. Sometimes to drown, all you need is your thoughts.
But that's the thing, when you're drowning in water, you can get help. Someone can come and take your hand.
When you're drowning in thoughts that follow you everywhere, no one can see you. No one can hear your pleas. No one can just take your hand and pull you to the sand.
No one can save you.
Unless you take down the walls that protect your thoughts from other people, and let them see what goes on in your head, and Noa was most certainly not planning to do that.
