Why had Sogo Doma always said Yukinoshita and the others were too green, that they had never been battered by society?
Just look at how Senzaemon Nakiri handled things. He had only just viciously fallen out with the Shinomiya Family, yet in the blink of an eye, his demeanor changed completely. And it was not just him—Gan'an Shinomiya was no different:
