Ah... kind of? [Atsushi scratches the back of his head again and looks around as if anyone could overhear them, but with everyone around being trapped in their own loop or too busy with singing, he just shrugs.]
I can turn into a huge white tiger. Or just parts of me, like my legs or arms, if I need strength. The tail can come in handy, too. But it's not like I picked this, I ... I actually didn't know for a long time that I could do this.

[He is not trying to transform now, of course. Not sure if the transformation and his healing ability would work under water and keep him alive, or if he would simply drown, even if his ability was even still there.]

Wait, so there are different kind of merpeople? Do they really exist? [Atsushi's eyes grow wide with fascination] I mean, sure here are also merpeople, but this seems to be some strange thing that's happening, since we normally aren't merpeople, but ... you're saying there is more?

[Shoulders slumping from disappointment, Atsushi floats a few meters away from the strange, repetitive people, looking almost annoyed.]

This is weird. And I've seen a lot of weird stuff, but underwater musicals aren't a part of that.
