The stupid thing is that she's had training for dealing with cold water, with how to cope with it hitting her body, how to not completely panic.

Kick her way back to the surface, breathe, breathe, even a gulp of air if Sofia is still there, but her hand hits the ice instead of air and she needs to breathe, needs to breathe, needs to breathe air and her lungs are burning and this is such a stupid fucking way to die and a hand grabs hers.

She tightens her grip and the hand yanks her sideways, then up.

Up means air, and her rescuer helps haul her out onto the unbroken ice. There's air, she can breathe, once she stops throwing up water, she can breathe.

Breathe, and cry.
