[Cheesy, but true. Atsushi firmly believes that his friends are capable of great things.

Or not so great things, like getting on a boat, but Atsushi knows that it’s not that simple; it’s a huge step for Howard, and he’ll need some prodding to take it.]

If you want, you can sit in the center of the boat, curled up. That way you can’t see the water and you won’t feel off balance.
