The angel lady tried to reach forward to pull Grey out of the waters, but her hand passed right through him. Her eyes were wide in shock. Never could she have expected that Grey would be so reckless.
Maybe she was too used to speaking to people like they had a modicum of decorum and understanding, but she hadn't been clear enough with Grey.
When she was speaking earlier, she was referring to how the waters might be used if you took a drop, two, or three at a time. Even a mouthful was way too much.
Dunking your entire head in wasn't just a death sentence. It was like walking yourself into the depths of hell and letting the devil himself chain you. The chains would be forged from the coldest ice, and you would be tormented for whatever length of existence you had left.
