Carl looked at Jayvion for a moment and said seriously, "Jayvion."
Jayvion got confused and responded, "What?"
"You are a man and you should man up and get over it. As long as you don't give up, you can make it again."
Carl was gentle only when speaking to Jessica. Now he spoke to Jayvion seriously.
Jayvion was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"
Hearing that, Carl asked, "Didn't you go to sea and commit suicide there?"
"Suicide?" Jayvion was stunned and shook his head, "I didn't do so. Although I thought about that, I can't just leave my parents alone. They are fighting hard for me, and I must live for them."
Carl frowned slightly and fell silent in deep thought.
Jayvion realized that something was wrong, so he asked "Do you think I committed suicide?"
Carl gave him a look of certainty.
Jayvion said as he carefully recalled, "Yesterday, I went to sea for relaxation alone. I was just enjoying the breeze on the bow, and I slipped when I turned to leave..."
He suddenly paused, "I know, it's that sailor! He pushed me!"
"What does he look like and what does he do?" Carl immediately asked.
"He's wearing a hat and sunglasses, so I can't see clearly what he looks like. I only vaguely remember that there's a mole on his neck..."
However, that was not a remarkable characteristic. It was not easy to find the sailor among those people with a mole on the neck.
Jayvion realized this and said in bewilderment, "Why did he push me? I got no quarrel with him..."
"Are you sure?" Carl asked.
