It's not water itself, it's the droning noises it creates. It makes it sound like the large parties Amarantha is making them go to. He is really disturbed about being paraded around in those parties and looked at and gawked at.
He was, but now crowds symbolize parties, which symbolizes Amarantha, which symbolizes helplessness. It's like a memory train that slams him into out of control horror (Amarantha), that is coupled with sensory deprivation (the loud sound) and droning nature of the sound kind of hypnotizes him.
I didn't even intend for him to have screaming blackouts XD I was just having him relax listening to the tub and his thoughts spiralled into a panic attack.
Yes, often times my characters start doing things that I didn't tell them to.
