They basically telegraph that she is a recent college (?) grad and : has been on no death defying adventures. So when the ship gets flooded and : she gets trapped underwater, she is discovering her will to survive. She's : not Super-Lara yet?. Yeah someone helps her out, but she is fighting for : her life. She makes a terrifying leap, misses her target, washes up to : shore on a capsized boat and then starts getting all Rambo complete with : bloodied face and painfully fastens dressing to her own wounds. : Besides, I may be wrong, but I think you may be misinterpreting the entire
