Alice and Keith have both grown quite familiar with these flashes of temper.

At first, they would often get surprised by Dennis's sudden outburst, but over time, they eventually get used to it.

Dennis was usually such a quiet, placid fellow, but once he started getting annoyed, he would be like a different person.
