Coach's Concern

That sudden warning left him perplexed. What just took place?

Blinking his eyes, he blankly stared at Tominaga while trying to figure out his situation. For a while, he was at a loss of words. 

Only after Tominaga got far away from him could he bring himself to speak, "What just happened right now?" he muttered, his tone laced with confusion. 

All those hesitations to speak only that much? Wasn't it a little too excessive? Was it really that hard for him to speak?

Sure, he could tell that Tominaga didn't have any favorable impression of him. But had he offended him so much that he had to hesitate that much to say something so trivial?

There were many things that he couldn't understand. But it wasn't difficult enough for him to understand that Tominaga wasn't as much of a jerk as he had thought. 

After all, he had the choice to remain silent. 

But maybe there's some righteousness left in him.
