Probably really hard for both of them to gauge what jabs are good to use.

Our Raido doesn't even know Yuki, so really it's just Yuki being a dick. The guy doesn't like Raido is clear though.

As far as I can tell atm, Yuki blames Raido for his circumstances. He resented being trained by Raido, and he resented not being strong enough to save what mattered.

He walked into the room once which triggered Yumi enough that it took a nat 20 for her to not go ballistic and even then she had to leave the room to process.

No, it was to avoid having PTSD-induced flashbacks. She was not about to explode at him, nor did she express any anger or resentment towards him the way Yuki just did.

We can just dodge those like a skill-check?

We had the flashback when Yumi monologued that Raido was the man from 'that' day didn't we?

Besides, that doesn't change the fact that her first move was to get away from him.

Edit:
Here, have your PTSD Flashback that we apparently didn't have.

It was a very long time ago though.

Your breathing goes funny for a moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sit in the living room, smacking your toys into each other. A friendly fight, just to warm up before the big contest!

Dad even got the day off to be with you! He's sitting on the couch, watching TV. The news is so boring! Maybe he can change the-

There's a knock at the door! Is Mom home early, too?! Dad gets up, and ruffles your hair.

"I'll be back in a sec, kid." He moves over, and walks to the front door.

When he opens it, there are two men on the other side. One is wearing a police uniform, and the other has a cool coat and a hat.

You can't make out what they're talking about from here, but you see the man in the coat take his hat off.

Dad looks...

Is he hurt?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You blink. That man, Mr. Kuzunoha, was there that day.

Yes, and there is a world of difference between avoiding a person because they're a living Trauma Button to you and actively resenting the person themself, which you seem to be missing.

Yumi had to actively remind herself that Raido was the messenger, not the person at fault when they met.

She absolutely had built-up resentment, but she chooses not to express it.

Your point is that somehow Yumi needing to leave the room the second she saw Raido is somehow better than Yuki constantly verbally jabbing Raido.

Edit:
I should probably clarify my vote. I added the questioning of passive aggressiveness because Yuki and Yumi are the same existence, and the fact they just had a talk about how similar they are.

I also mentioned it because it's a point again and again how angry Younger Yumi was. Sort of like how Yuki is now.

I bring up the Raido encounter because both were shitshows.

Raido Ga Ga
 
I personally don't like using the word awkward, so I'll just edit out the Raido part of my vote since that seems to be the part that pisses people off the most.

[X] "Kohaku, was I ever this passive aggressive?"
-[X] "Oh yeah! I have a letter for you Radio."
 
Kyoko, holding her spear to Sayaka's neck: What's your problem with me?! Do you not like me--?

Sayaka: I like you!

Kyoko:

Kyoko, face as red as her hair: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!

    • [X] "Glad I'm not that guy."

    "Hey, Kohaku..." You mutter to your companion, "...Was I ever that passive aggressive?"

    "N-No, you were just..." Kohaku's gaze falls downwards, suddenly finding the floor to be more interesting, "...Rather, um, passionate about some things. Like, you talked really loud and were constantly shaking or touching Shoji and I."

    You scratch the back of your head, "...Oh. Uh, sorry about that, by the way."

    "Don't be," Kohaku says automatically, "I liked it when you--!!!!!" She suddenly clasps her hands over her mouth, her eyes widening to dinner plates.

    "...I don't mind being bumped around when it's you and Shoji." Kohaku tries again.

    "As long as you two are okay with it, I guess." You shake your head, following Uncle Raido and Yuki into the dining room with silverware in tow.

    When you enter, you find them sitting down at the table with some space between them. The air seems somewhat somber as neither initiate any conversation.

    ...This doesn't stop you from placing the silverware around the table. Now seems like a pretty good time to talk to Raido and maybe Yuki, but you can't think of any--!

    "Oh, right!" You smack your forehead, "I've got a letter for you, Uncle!" You produce the letter and hand it to him.

    "...? Thanks." He takes it, looking over the conspicuously blank envelope before opening it. With deft hands, he takes the actual letter out of the--?

    (INT ROLL: 15+10)
    (KOHAKU INT ROLL: 16+??)
    (YUKI INT ROLL: 6+??)

    Several polaroid pictures fall onto the table. You and Kohaku get a good look at the contents of the photographs, for better or for worse.

    Each photo depicts the woman from the antique shop, Michiru, in a provocative pose, with lipstick marks in some of the corners. In every single one, she has a calm and confident smile, even when she's barely... Um, dressed. In the one that landed in front of you, she is using what appears to be a Compendium to cover--!!

    Raido quickly gathers all of the photos from the table, stuffing them back into the envelope.

    Kohaku is as red as a beet.

    You don't know what to think.

    Yuki glances over, apparently finished staring off into space. "What's got you all looking so shocked?" He mumbles.
