"I can't climb down the cliff without falling. Save Dylan instead…"
That was what Darius remembered saying before gearing up to jump and save the little girl. He admitted that he didn't think twice about doing so, even if Dylan needed him some more. It was as if he had the second nature to save those who were helpless since he was once one of them. He would save them over a family member someone else could take care of. These helpless people only had themselves.
However, he could barely see anything in the black waters of the sea because of the storm. He did grab into Vivienne who was knocked out from the fear of falling, but he could barely stay on the surface to give air to both of them. Neither could he find a place to get the child out of the freezing cold.
