You said "finally" like you don't get a chance to get out and do stuff like this, is all.
[Futaba's level of socially maladjusted shut-in has biased him; he has to wonder if there's something stopping her, like Mikan. Tragic backstories abound in Wonderland. On the plus side, they're all a little abnormal here.
They don't seem to be the only ones with an interest in thrills and chills that evening; he doesn't notice Monika reaching over, too distracted by veering wide around someone who cuts between them, headed in the opposite direction, toward the haunted house. The second time he lifts his hand to point the way, turning to note her fussing with the mask. There's no need for it, by his estimation; there's not a single hair out of place on her head and that's doubly impressive for just having run through a maze of dark corridors.
When she stumbles, that's when he comes to a stop. His natural assumption seeing it is that maybe she'd started to grab him to catch herself, but...]
Are you okay? [What was that...? Did you say something, Monika?] Got a delayed case of jelly legs from the house of horror?
[He'll feel vindicated to know they're both a bit jittery and off balance...]
