???: What were you doing out there anyway? October’s too cold for a swim. Did you fall in?

Keira smiles nervously, unsure of what to say.

Keira, internally: How am I supposed to answer that? I can’t tell him the truth. He’ll think I’m crazy!

Keira: …N-no, not exactly.

His eyes widen with worry and concern, seeming to draw a conclusion from her evasive reply.

???: Wait, were you trying to…to kill yourself?

Keira, overly defensive: What!? Of course not!
