Okay, now Harrowheart's in a pickle. He's got to keep a hold of the locket with at least one hand, and he'd like to keep holding onto the ride for a little sense of security... But how can he pass up the opportunity hold her back? But if he touches her she might let him go! Light, he feels like he's fourteen and confused about girls all over again.

Oh, to Hell with waffling. He lets go of the coaster and holds tight to her hand as she clings to him, laughing harder and shouting louder now as he's subjected to gravity and looser in his seat.

When he sees that the end of the ride is in sight he still doesn't let her go unless she tries to pry herself free. Runa and Viatorus might see them like this, but that really doesn't faze him – not in this context. It's a scary ride! So he's holding onto her! Because certainly he's the one who's scared, right?
