«Ugh… I wish that hottie had invited me to go down the slide with him,» Ayane mutters, exaggerating her tone on purpose — clearly more to tease Aoshi than because she actually cares, though she wouldn't have minded a ride with that guy.
«Cut it out,» Aoshi snaps, annoyed. His eyes stay fixed on the two-person slide, perfectly aligned with his lounge chair and close enough for him to make out who's coming down.
«If I didn't know you, I'd say you're jealous,» Ayane teases with a smirk.
«Jealous? Me? Don't be ridiculous…»
In truth, Aoshi isn't just jealous — he's super jealous, but not for the reason Ayane thinks.
It's not her comments about that guy that set him off, but the sight of Eliss going down the slide with him again and again.
«It must be one hell of a ride if they've already gone down five times…» he grumbles, narrowing his eyes. «Ah, no — that makes six…»
