“Love is like the rain. It comes in a drizzle sometimes. Then it starts pouring and if you’re not careful it will drown you.”
This quote seems to directly relate to the first story, Children of the Sea. The two distanced lovers in the story both endure struggles that mirror the flow of the quote. They first experience the drizzle of new love, mentioned at in their flashbacks to before the male lead is forced out to sea. The rain of their emotions reaches an apex when they are apart, and the story ends with the literal drowning of the male lead.
“It is the calm and silent waters that drown you.”
The story of A Wall of Fire Rising and the struggles of Guy seem to be an exact parallel to this quote. Throughout the enti story, Guy continually and silently is caught between his desire to know what it is to fly, and to his duties for his family. Eventually, he does not speak of this struggle, and pays the price with his death as he falls from the balloon.
