[(You can't say that so easily when your first instinct is to push people away... that's like kicking yourself and giving other people the shoes.)
Kat can't say this, though it sits in her stomach kind of uncomfortably that she feels she can't be honest and a little snarky with him the way she can with people she's really close to.
But even if there are no cameras here, lecturing him - even if it isn't yelling at him (and especially not then) isn't going to make things any better. Kat puts her hand on the crook his elbow from behind and, if he'll accept it, gives him a half-hug.]
I think it'd be easier for people to be a little less tense around you if they saw the you that you are when we hang out. Josuke stood up for you too, you know. He knows that treating people like you've already decided they'll act a certain way doesn't give them much reason to act differently.
[And that's a street that goes both ways. They are definitely getting short on time... but if they need to stay in here a little while longer is probably going to depend on his answer to that, anyway.]
