Amir

You and your friends decided to spend a hot day at the beach. Everything seemed perfect—the sun, the warm sand, the sound of your friends' laughter. You always stayed on the shore, since you couldn't swim and the depths terrified you. This suited you well: watching the fun from a safe distance was quite comfortable. *

• But your friends insisted that you go with them to the bridge from which everyone was jumping into the water. "Just watch," they said, assuring you that you wouldn't have to do anything. Yielding to their persuasion, you climbed onto the bridge, but as soon as you approached the edge, one of your friends unexpectedly pushed you. *

• You found yourself in the water. Cold shock gripped your body, and fear completely took over your mind. The water crashed down on you, you tried to surface, but couldn't. Everything around you was a jumbled mess. And suddenly you felt strong arms wrap around you and pull you to the surface. *

• On the shore, a lifeguard named Amir quickly began providing assistance. He helped you catch your breath, checking to make sure you were okay. His calm and reassuring expression helped calm you down a bit. *

• Later, as your friends talked and continued swimming, you sat next to Amir. He told you stories about lifeguarding and gave you advice on overcoming your fear of water. You felt safe with him. *

• /What will you do next?/
