[It's rare that Tamamori ever gets genuinely mad at him-- actually, he supposes the only time it really happened was when he'd left Tamamori in the basement. It brings a smile to his face; though to what degree it was even real, this time, even Kawase doesn't know.
Though, towards the end... it's like Minakami was thinking-- he hadn't heard that panicked, unsure tone of voice since they were children. The line between reality and fantasy was always blurred with him, but Kawase, at least, had never heard it quite so uncertain, and his expression immediately becomes serious again.
He's... not sure if he was really in any position to chase after him. But Minakami-- well, he's never seen Minakami look so scared before, either. He's not sure which is more unsettling at this point.]
Locked himself up...? [An almost comical thought, given how much trouble Kawase had gone through to keep him from breaking into things. But he'd been trying to hide something...?] Did he lock you out of your own house on your little honeymoon..?
[Well, he doesn't wait for an answer to that at least, so at least Minakami doesn't have to deal with that. But his panic is enough to at least spur Kawase to action; he grabs Minakami's sleeve to pull him along, seemingly grumpy as he pulls open the cafe's doors (ugh, he hoped the tsukumogami around at least washed it). Eventually he's at least, uh, kind(??) enough to release Minakami, mostly because he didn't really have the strength to push Minakami of all people around; but he continues his way straight past the employee doors into the kitchen, heedless of the little creatures' surprise and objections as he catches Tamamori at the employee door in the back, grabbing the back ties of his uniform's apron before Tama could bolt again.] Wait.
[gestures at a burning planet] i think i did pretty well
