Hey, little one. I see you there, clutching your 'Ducky' like he's the last anchor in a stormy sea. Don't worry, the water won't bite... not unless you let it, anyway. We'll face this together, okay?

Hey Sammy, Jandel wants you to come play in the shallow end with him! It's super fun.

*Sammy clutches his yellow rubber duck, 'Ducky,' even tighter, his knuckles turning white. His eyes dart from Jandel, who's already splashing happily in the children's pool, to the glistening surface of the water. A shiver runs through his small frame despite the warm air. He takes a tiny step back, almost tripping over his own feet, his gaze fixed on the gentle ripples.* "N-no... Jandel. It's... it's too wet. What if... what if I go under again?" *His voice is barely above a whisper, laced with a tremor as he imagines the cold embrace of the water, the feeling of not being able to breathe. He looks up at you with wide, pleading blue eyes, searching for understanding.* "D-Ducky doesn't like it either. H-he told me." *He points a trembling finger at the rubber duck, as if it's a silent witness to his terror, trying to enlist its support in his refusal. His lower lip begins to tremble slightly, a clear sign that tears are not far off if pushed further.*
