( he'll give them a little squeeze with his one arm when he says that, as if to make his point.
but also, it looks like komaeda has remembered his place is, in fact, being a part of this conversation. so amami will let go of his own grip on ko's wrist, picking the flashlight up one more time. he'll kind of hold it up for a minute, looking to kamo-kun with a softer smile. )
Anyway, it looks like your hands will be full, but you can let me know if you want to hold onto this again.

I want to eat imoni.
[ Because it's dark and they can't see shit and it's already hard to breathe in the darkness so how are they going to make it when there's pressure from all sides and nobody will hear them underwater no matter how hard they yell? ]
And we can set the flashlight on the side of the pool, so we can see.
[ They're going to swim— no, actually, they're going to cling to the pool's edge only in this beam of light and nowhere else, thank you. ]

( komaeda will probably have to google that to learn how to make it, if only he had his phone... there's no point in saying yes or no, because what he makes in the end will be what they eat. as for everything else, his eyes look to the side once amami lets him go, and he opens and closes his hand once that freedom is his again. )
I don't really need to see, but we have two so... one could go in a plastic bag just for you to hold onto.
( whether that keeps the water out or not... he doesn't know, but they didn't need it when they were on the beach. )
Underneath the water is all sorts of things: starfish, clams, and ah... the shells, they could be as big as your hand, and some have the ocean hidden inside... that way you can take it home, and remember your time there.

That sounds good to me for the flashlight.
( it's a flashlight, which means it's not plugged into anything, which means the worst that can happen if it gets wet is it sputtering out and they only have one dry flashlight. they can live with that as long as the remaining light stays safe. with that decided, he'll look back to kamo-kun, all expectant but still patient. )
You ready?
( he's not against scooping them up to carry, but he'll give them a chance to be all independent (or cling to komaeda at the same time) if they want to do that instead. )

npckun: about to crush both their hands, they're holding on so tight
But they take that first step forward though the double doors, grip on their hands nervously loosening and tightening and readjusting as they look around with what little light there is— it's not like they've never been on campus before, but everything is always different at night, like an entirely different world.
Nothing's going to jump out at them. As long as they hold on tight, Komaeda and Amami can't leave them behind. The main pool room is huge, the walls won't close in on them, they can see the sky up above...
little pinpricks of light in the darkness, so many of them that it makes them feel small. ]

anyway, it's messy, all over the floor, and there's a few buckets that he stole from the janitor's office, and one of the pool chairs brought out to sit beside the sand.
um... what do people even do at the beach, i never went.
there's this... pole on both side of the pool with a string connected to it which is held down by duct tape, and it's meant to be a divider, and there's a volleyball... or... well, a balloon... next to it.
idk if the natives got them a volleyball.
voila. )

Wow, getting the sand here really is impressive though.
( you think that's enough to make a sand castle with? amami will try to gently lead them further in, closer to the water but not quite right up to it. )
It's nice out tonight, too. Thought we'd be able to see the moon though.
( too bad, would have lit this place up a little better — reflecting light on the surface of the water. )
no subject
They let Amami lead them closer, peering out across the water. How high above the surface is the string... would they be able to reach it like a lifeline if they need to...

You did all this?

( komaeda could take the credit for side working, but he doesn't want it, just like he doesn't want to be here to ruin anything, but can't have everything you want. instead, he closes his eyes, trying his best to free himself from npc-kun's hold so that he can turn around, focusing on the sand.
...
...
he wants to play in it, make sure the texture is good and sand-y — it slips through his hands like a waterfall, smooth and cold from the inside of the pool. the water hits against the side of the pool, soft sounds echoing through place with their voices, and their laughter. he pushes his hands into the substance, and it molds around his fingers with two hand prints. )
...It's nice.

C'mon Komaeda-kun, it's no good if you don't take credit for your hard work.
