The Gascoigne family's home is situated beside a wide canal.
Saying it like that might not be very intuitive.
Their windows are adjacent to a canal that's over three meters wide and over six meters deep, with no cover or railings.
The canal doesn't seem to be frequently used, its bottom holding only a thin layer of sludge.
Perhaps to make it easier for people to enter the canal, there's a ladder fixed not far from the Gascoigne family's window.
Lann couldn't imagine what state of mind the designer of this architecture had while working?
This isn't even an era where night lighting is widespread; wouldn't anyone suddenly stepping off path at night just break their neck?
And it's right next to the residential area!
