Transcript

00:00I thought I had already eaten and swallowed, but of course, I felt that maybe it was a

00:14killer whale.

00:15We had been talking about killer whales a little earlier, so I had that in my head.

00:18But when I left, I understood that it was probably out of curiosity that the whale had

00:25approached me, or perhaps to communicate something.

00:28Yes, at first, when I thought I was dead, it was like, of course, a lot of terror, because

00:43I thought I couldn't do anything anymore, right?

00:45And when I left and started floating, there I felt the real fear that something would

00:51happen to my dad, that we hadn't arrived on time to the shore, that I would have hypothermia.
