[Souji is aware of a strange feeling, like he's meeting a childhood friend for the first time in years, but that doesn't really make sense, does it? If nothing else, the other seems to be at least five years younger than him. But Souji is used to feelings like that - it has happened to him plenty of times before, as he's met people who by some strange coincidence have names that match up nicely with his. It's a bit different this time, but... it's there.

He's not going to try to analyze it right now, though, not when there's beach fun to be had. When he sees the other hesitate a bit, he reaches out and takes his hand with his free one, gently tugging him along with a laugh. What do you mean, grown men don't usually do things like that? Souji doesn't care - it's questionable if he's even aware of unwritten social rules like that.]

Not at all! It's really pretty, and there's loads of interesting stuff that's gotten caught there. Come, it's up this little path.
