[Freminet was used to the dark depth of the ocean. He often sees how mysterious and unpredictable the water can be. He also knows how dangerous the marine life could be if he was not careful. He had seen and done some rather dubious things during his missions. He shouldn't be scared of anything based on what he has seen.

Or at least, that's what he liked to think.

It was a bad mission; he knew he could have done better. Nobody died but many of his siblings got hurt. If it were not for the quick actions of him and others, some could have perished. It was over but it did not stop his mind from wandering.

Feeling as though sitting in his bed would do nothing, Freminet figured he should take a walk to the kitchen and see if some water might help.]
