[ ...ah yes. There it is. The moment he feels his hand loosening, his own clamps down harder on it. Absolutely not; he's not letting go, even if Eichi isn't even trying to hold onto him anymore. But it's clear that they can't keep up the pace, even if it's really just a short burst to freedom.
Stopping to think about it will definitely let the fear sink in, but he has to—and there's nowhere safe but there is... a brief option. Even if he has to drag him behind, Wataru is pulling him towards the wall. There's a half covered standee—the kind you stand behind and put your face into the holes and take cute pictures with. Wataru's pressing his back to it, watching out across from them.
As expected, he can feel an unsettling emotion crawling inside of him, but... he has an idea. ]
Eichi. This is quite terrible, but I need your help again. [ He would let that sink in and extend the break he's trying to give him, but there's a scuttling noise behind them. Like several very small hands and feet are scaling the backside of the standee slowly. Okay! No pause here, sorry! ] They don't want to be seen, but even I can't really have eyes on the back of my head. I'm going to pick you up, and you're going to keep an eye out for them. Ah, even if you can't see all of them, it's better than how we've been proceeding.
[ Is it an excuse to just pick him up while trying to be considerate of his feelings and his health? Yes. Is it also a better idea, and could work much better? Also yes. ]
