[ where is literally anyone else when they need them. almost anyone else would have been more useful here than these two.
Shuichi is quietly, mildly appreciative to have Ouma take over for him. He's even more appreciative to be immediately given a different task so he doesn't waste precious seconds on feeling useless while someone else does things for him. He nods, hurrying back into the water without even a care for the wetness at this point. He's already soaked, who cares.
It does occur to him just briefly that Ouma taking care of things here means he's the one left going back in the water, but it's not even worth pointing out. Who really care which of them does what? Why waste the time discussing it? Besides, if he's being perfectly logical here, if only one of them has to go in the water then it might as well be the person who's already wet.
These are the kind of thoughts that keep him distracted while he swims back over to tug the other curtain's rope loose. Better to dwell on such petty things rather than their potential death by drowning, at least. On the way back, he makes a detour to grab the leg of that floating table from earlier and tug it back through the waves towards the stairs.]
