Synopsis

While they lay there holding hands, Ambio told Serena what happened. "When the fog finally lifted after the sun came out, I thought I was going to burn up. I was so thirsty that I was tempted to drink the seawater, but I knew it would kill me. And then I prayed, saying, "We were born together, please let us die together." Ambio then went on to say, "I drifted all that day without a cloud in sight. All I could think of was that you were getting burned up like myself." "I wish," said Serena, "that I'd had the misfortune not to have been picked up by those fishermen. It would have saved me from a living hell. I did not get burned up like you, but if hell is anything like I went through, I sure do not want to go there."
