Oh, was he -- throwing the bauble? Sakura had been under the impression that they were supposed to wave the bauble around and project the light onto surfaces to make the bears chase the light... in the other direction.
Though maybe the instructions could have been clearer for this particular activity, and even Sakura's own approximation is something of a guess, though it has worked well enough for her so far. But with throwing the bauble, this man seems to be essentially conditioning the Sea Bear, Pavlovian style. Though he also seems not to have noticed he has done/is doing this.
She definitely has to debate how best to get involved in something like this.
"Here, let me see if I can help."
She raises her own bauble, shaking it so the light moves, in an effort to get the Sea Bear's attention.
Honestly... she almost feels a little guilty, trying to separate them. Look how attached this animal is! And it is cute, after all!
