こぽっ。こぽこぽっ。懸命に我慢していても、口の端からは意志とは関係なしに気泡が漏れていく。
(溺れてる）（私、溺れてる）

"Glub.G-g-g-lub."
Now, no matter how hard Chihaya tried to hold it back, her quivering lips continued to let out foams of air, defying her will.
"Drowning. I am drowning," Chihaya thought, uncertain if she was still conscious.

英文あらすじ（Synopsis）：

Chihaya let out a few bubbles of air and eased the pain in her chest. She then glided through the hatch into the ship's dark hull, cautious not to scrape her body against its rough edges. It was like a mess hall - with a table and chairs scattered all around. Chihaya went farther in, careful to constantly locate herself by the dim light from the hatch.

Suddenly, something sped by Chihaya's face. Horrified, Chihaya exhaled large bubbles of air, but moments later the shape shimmered and glittered and revealed itself as a mere fish. With quick strokes, Chihaya propelled her body upward, but was surprised to hit her head hard against the hall's ceiling. Her groping hands felt nothing but its crumbling surface. She squinted and looked around, but there was a renewed sting in her eyes from the salt and her sight was all dark and murky. Panic-stricken, Chihaya now realized she was completely lost - with no more than a pint of air left in her burning lungs.
