[After their conversation before, and after seeing him around the inn, Mash has definitely been wanting to approach and talk to 9S . . . it just never seems to be a good time. Someone's in the middle of ping-pong, or another conversation, this and that. Or, like right now, they're both naked. Is that the best time to approach and greet a boy you met once before? Prooooobably not.
And so she wasn't planning to. This moment was going to pass by like the others, and she would have sought him out later, instead of now, with a towel still wrapped around her body as she picks her way along the edge of the baths to find some privacy. But—she'd caught a glimpse of him sinking down into the water, and he's not coming back up, and, oh no . . .
What choice does she have? Is he okay down there?! Eyes wide and embarrassment forgotten for the moment, she hurries over as much as she can, in bare feet on slippery stone.]
dont drown 9S, also assuming they exchanged names before WHOOPSIE
