Mmm... perhaps think smaller. Calming one or two people will quickly spread, will it not?

[In his experience, shouting just makes everything worse... or makes everyone tune out almost entirely. If everyone is panicking, then it only makes sense for someone else to be shouting, after all.

The renewed attention does pull a... laugh???? from him?? But why would someone be laughing if their children are missing? At any rate, he does reach up to pat the boy gently on the bicep. (And really, the boy could probably fit most of one hand around Kogarasumaru's waist if he wanted to.) Best to lead by example with that 'calming one person first' dealio, right?]

No, no, to the best of my knowledge none of them were... hm... cast?

[Since they had "roles" or whatever.]
