He can't put his finger on it, but there's some kind of rightness about being up high. There's a large part of him that's confident that if he were to step out into open air, it would only be the first step in climbing higher, and that jumping off means taking flight instead of falling down.
Instead of feeling a fear of falling, it's almost seems like the lack of fear is more dangerous.
Anyway, he jumps—!
—and lands easily, with the pleasure and satisfaction of a good landing that didn't break anything.]
