"Yes, we all feel so refreshed after getting out of that stuffy cave," Quer added, closing his eyes and relishing the cool breeze. He opened his eyes again and noticed the former thief prisoners also enjoying the sense of freedom. "Look at them; they're experiencing the freedom of the wind coming from the river, just like us," Quer pointed out the evident fact.
Indeed, the prisoners felt more alive after escaping their dark and dismal confinement. They felt reinvigorated by the freedom and fresh air surrounding them.
