The words are sharp, curt, and final - intended to curb further questioning. This impression is supported by his clenched teeth, the now crumpled envelope in his fist. Mikado is safe. That is the only detail that matters to Masaomi, and it's the only detail that should matter to Sora too. If Masaomi doesn't think that way, then...
His death really would have no meaning.
"And I knocked that kidnapping bastard's teeth out. That sound okay to you?"
It's frustrating and stupid and petty to bite at Sora like this, to test someone he'd wanted to impress with the kind of question that demands a very scripted answer. But as the fear and anger begin to bubble up the back of his throat, he knows he needs to hear that answer. Without it, he won't be able to shake the urge to bolt.
