You don't have to give the Tiger anything... [It's been a year and Atsushi is still throwing that side of him under the bus. It's fine.

He carefully settles their balance again, wanting to be able to look her in the face. Though his original intention had been to carry Makoto straight home, she doesn't seem to be sick or suffering. So long as he stays by her side, Atsushi figures she is safe staying on the beach.]

I'm glad. I might have been a bit jealous if not. [Even Atsushi is unsure of whether or not that is a joke.] That makes this a date, doesn't it? If we're not expecting anyone else..?
