SKI: Essim and the soldiers walk along the clifftops and observe the
waterfall that she and Mahoun escaped going over.

[217] I keep accidentally writing my way into scenes from my own
life. I used to serve in a coastal cliff rescue squad, and I'm
delighting in having these young soldiers unself-consciously saying
everything that we were strictly disciplined not to say, lest media
or families overhear and mistake realism for callous uncaring. It's a
taste of Essim's own medicine as she keeps upsetting Mahoun by saying
it like it is.
I am not totally satisfied that I have depicted the river and the
waterfall here the way I see it in my mind, but I think that the
picture you get will still tell the story. Let me know if there is
any confusion.
