[Hey, Eiichi's barely more than a twig under his uniform, but he makes it work! And it's still probably better than getting trampled by a crowd. Maybe.

Though, Shin being so small and skinny does sort of remind him of having to pull Tamamori out of traffic when he wasn't paying attention. Actually, it sort of seems like that thought makes him more grumpy, but at least when there's less a risk of trampling, he lets go of Shin's arm without much fuss.]

You must have really been spacing out if you didn't notice the noisy crowd. [As it is, he only looks exhausted, at least, despite his sharp tone.] But I suppose it can't be helped... some people can space out on anything.
