[Karamatsu's grip had been firm because he felt it necessary to make sure his brother didn't spread this affliction any farther than it had already gone. What did Choromatsu ever do to you, really!? More surprising than his ability to hold Ichi in place, though, is the sudden kick to his person that would have knocked all the air out of his lungs if he needed to breathe air any longer. It instead manages to stun him, making it all the easier for Ichimatsu to upend his brother right out of the tub and onto the bathroom floor.
He falls facefirst, sliding for a few feet before he comes to a stop on the tile in front of Choromatsu, the head and shoulders of Karamatsu with a huge fishtail where his legs should be. The merman lays there in a puddle for a long moment before he suddenly rolls over, his body convulsing like he'd been electrocuted.]
Hhhgk-! I-c-cchiii-maaatsss-!!
[He thrashes helplessly on the floor, his arms trembling as he reaches up toward the edge of the tub...but his fingertips are several feet away, nowhere near close enough to pull himself back up into it. His other hand is gripping at his neck, trying to hold his gills closed so they won't suck in air and make his suffocation even worse.]
