But it doesn't seem like the bathhouse gets a lot of clientele at this hour. He's technically getting to know her now, albeit in an unconventional fashion. And if everyone's kept drinking at the same rate, they'll be utterly annihilated by now. He can't actually find a good reason to try and put an end to things, except for sex itself is embarrassing and I don't want her to decide I am, too.
(For someone he hardly knows, her opinion's come to matter a great deal in the last hour or so.)

Perhaps more importantly, he might spontaneously combust if she doesn't.
