Hypothermia is actually very dangerous, but I think they're at less risk than, say, a human.
I agree with this course of action; if they all huddle together, they're less likely to drown, though they'd probably get some bumps and scrapes. The current seems somewhat fast; perhaps the monster would be unable to keep up.

I don't expect you to be quick with your decision. There's no tricks or traps this time. This is exactly as it is described. This will determine the course of the rest of the game. Nothing is set in stone, not yet...
---------------------------------------------------
Echo: BRAVO! THE RIVER! JUMP IN THE RIVER! ITS STILL HERE!
Bravo: WHAT?! WHY?! WHAT'S STILL--
Bravo, out of curiosity, looks around the river to see what Echo is talking about. It is at this moment he notices a sound he hadn't noticed before, but now that he has heard it,
he's sure it has always been there. He turns around to face the foe he had encountered along the way. In his panic to save Charlie, he hadn't considered it might come back for him and him alone. To his disliking, he had come to another realization, one that had left him paralyzed, in disbelief at himself and what was happening. All in this one moment, he began to process it all at once, and all he could do is regret...
Echo: BRAVO!
BRAVO!!!
Luckily, this warning allowed him to prepare for the worst, he braced himself as much as he could, covering his face in both fear and stubborness as to what he knew might unfold. Even still, the power of the beast was too overwhelming for him to take, and was sent crashing into a nearby tree. He was in incredible pain, he could hardly move, this was a feeling he'd never experienced before. But deep down this was nothing compared to what was going on. No matter how awful he was feeling, there was no way he was going to let this thing torment his family, they aren't safe yet.
If he was going down, he wasn't down until this thing was done for...
BRAVO IS ENRAGED.
"You've done it again", Charlie thought to himself. "You've gone and made a mess of things, you put yourself in harms way just to prove a point, and now your brothers are paying the price for it." Of all the slip ups Charlie has made, there has never been one this severe. He only wanted to prove he could be helpful, that he could be independant, that he could hold his own. He wanted to be good and strong, just like his brothers. He wondered why any of them were even doing this, what reason could they possibly have to risk their lives for someone as worthless as him, perhaps it would have been best to just do as his parents wished and just leave them all behind...
...but, at that moment, that question had begun to ring through his head, over and over. Why WERE they saving him? He knew of them to have good judgement, he could trust their decisions. Everything they did was for a reason, as reserved or rash they may be at times. Why did he have any reason to
doubt them? Why
is he doubting them? Why is he putting them through this?!
This isn't something they'd do out of simple obligation, they cared about him, they wanted him with him, all faults accounted for. Dinner proved that more than anything, if he were to leave, they'd be heart broken. They'd be more hurt than anything he could do to them, they'd never leave him behind, they'd always be there for him!
Although... it seems that might no longer be an option for him.
Bravo is standing face to face with some huge terrifying monster, and Echo is slowly falling head first into the same River he was in in. They don't understand the danger they're in... but he did.
Neither Bravo or Echo can swim, but he's been practicing a little. If anyone were to fall in, well... maybe you'd survive. But, the rocks, the debris, the dibs, would that even matter? But, if you let go, as tough as that thing is, there's a chance the two of them could at least hold it off, but there's no way Bravo could fight that thing alone.Surely Mom and Dad know what's going on by now, right? They must have told them. They gotta be comming!...right?
You want to be there for them, you want to make them happy,
but is it right to risk their lives at your expense?... No, you're not risking their lives...
they're doing this for you. This was their choice, you know they have something planned, you know they did the right thing. You know they can save you. You trust them... but how much is trust worth in a situation like this?
There's no more time to think... you know whats right... they know what's right. You love them. They love you. You can't do this to them. You have to do this for them.
Charlie: I have to do this... it's for them...
1) Let go.
2) Don't let go.
