As it turned out, Scott did the right thing and offered to take the hit this time. Harvey realized that meant it would be his turn the next time that they did this, but he could figure out what would be the best sense to give up when he got to that point. Honestly, he'd probably also go with touch -- being given a reprieve from the constant pain he was in wouldn't be bad at all.

There were downsides, though. Scott could easily end up hurting himself without even meaning to, and he wouldn't even be able to feel the boat as he sat down in it. That had to be pretty disorienting.

Still, the kid had made his choice and it was done now, so Harvey just nodded to him in thanks and then moved forward to enter the boat first. He sat down at the very front, knowing that they would need to distribute their weight evenly to make sure the thing didn't tip over and toss them into corpse-infested waters.
