Yeah but I can't be the artist because you are literally an artist. [ Not winning this one, Miyamura! Mao just leaves the other part alone since... he's not winning that one. ]
We have to be able to change stuff anyway because neither of us is dying. So you're the artist and I'm the not pretty not rich, uh, not girl.
[ True to the way the connection works, all the things Izumi's trying not to think about come across loud and clear, so nobody's dying in the water but Mao's still dying a bit. So much for his attempt to not think about how that scene ended in the movie. He feels a little warm and certainly surprised knowing that's the first thing that apparently came to Izumi's mind when he looked over, but it also reminds him of the moment at the bottom of the stairs, kind of delicate.
His surprise probably gets through and he knows it, so to counteract it he momentarily tightens his arms around Izumi. He's surprised and embarrassed, sure, but not upset? Mao has no idea if that's how it goes across but he's hoping.
Just in case, though, in a playfully feminine voice--]
