Poor Seiko. She had one of those "close" moments. It's a wonder she doesn't simply faint. I have to say "poor Kaida" too. This isn't the best man to know. Good thing she's out of town (not so good for Seiko).

Fudo wasn't concerned about "displaced aggression" when he was tormenting Alex. ;-) Of course, he generally likes to save the carnage to share with his "beloved" Kaida. The extinguished cigarette is a bad sign with Fudo. Sorta means "down to business." This time, he managed to resist his homicidal urges – for now.
