Sogo Doma never held grudges. He always settled them on the spot. Wasn't he just making Eriri air out what was bothering her so everyone could have a laugh? When all was said and done, who was he doing this for?

"See?" Sogo Doma sneered again. "Just as I thought. When you need something, it's Sogo. When you don't, shut up. I should just keep quiet, shouldn't I!?"
Yukino Yukinoshita: ##^_^##
