#so i thought kyoichiro literally stabbed a sharp thread through taiyo's torso to neutralize the bomb

[sage-reads-things]

"I'm glad my job finished early" you asshole I KNOW you were waiting on the sidelines for Taiyo to either solve the puzzle or explode. I'm sure he was primed and ready to swoop in and save Mutsumi had Taiyo's reaction been a second too late. He probably even had a very sad lament queued up about Taiyo's tragic and untimely death that wouldn't have happened if Taiyo had been more competent :'(

That being said, Kyoichiro does praise Taiyo for figuring out the bomb's location. I like to think he flat-out assumed Taiyo would fail miserably, and is grudgingly impressed that Taiyo actually caught the bombs in time and protected Mutsumi from both of them. And like, he did just jump out a window without a thought for his own safety in order to save Mutsumi's life. Even Kyoichiro has to respect the dedication.
