They both deserved scolding. One started things, the other escalated. Which feels odd. Not the fighting, but the sudden switch. Osamu seemed fine only a moment ago. Nervous, maybe, but not angry. Is this just a bad day? Or the signs of something deeper?

Kita ponders. For now, all he can do is watch. Be ready for the next fallout.

Gradually the room fills with chatter, shuffling, banging. Kita finds time for everyone. Only a few words, but each one hits the target. Calming the stressed. Fueling up the exhausted. It's what he does every time. Nothing grand or special, just getting Inarizaki ready to work.
