Summary
This quote suggests that fish, when they die, float to the surface of the water with their bellies facing upwards. The phrase "its their way of falling" implies that this upward position is equivalent to how humans normally fall to the ground after death. This description highlights the idea that even in death, fish maintain their own unique way of existence and movement, symbolizing an individual's adherence to their own nature even in their final moments.
