Hebrew manuscript from Kaifeng, mixing in some Chinese too in order to communicate people's names.

I like how this is mixing horizontal and vertical writing in order to fit both languages' preferred writing styles. Also, this might be evidence for the use of what's now called "ruby" annotation in the Classical period -- how old is this manuscript?

They could never make me hate you, complex female character whose reaction to trauma was not pretty and digestible like how people think it should be.

Something I find interesting is the way he's breathing.

He's lifting his head up just enough to inhale above the water, and then exhaling it slowly under the water. This is the technique human swimmers are taught, to make sure their lungs are empty for a quicker inhale when they come back up for air so they can keep a good oxygen cycle going. When you're holding your breath, the oxygen in your blood breaks down without being replaced. At best this will make you tired faster, at worst it can put you into a state of asphyxia, trigger your gasp reflex, and possibly cause you to drown.

This water buffalo can stay underwater like this for hours just by breathing this way.
