Just as Gansey had hesitated the second time he and his friends had entered Cabeswater, he hesitates now. Noah had been the first one to plunge forward then, and now Darlington.

Additionally, if his friends will move as quickly as he’s sure they will, it means they may not have much time in this place, and it would be quite a waste, wouldn’t one think, not to take advantage of the situation while they can.
