[Ogata’s initial reaction is surprise twofold. At both Maya and himself. For Maya, well, sure he’d expected upset. He expected her to be mad. But not like this, not this cold dark fury. He expected tears.
For himself is the fact that it feels bad. He’s used to people being mad at him. He knows how to make people hate him and it’s better to be hated than to be ignored. Anger is familiar and if someone else is upset then good, he wants them to be. Except now it just feels like a pain in his stomach. He thinks of that horrible roller coaster Maya had brought him on. He thinks the feeling is something like that.]
