As you were fighting Katakuri, you felt a sting in your leg, most likely inflicted by Flampe. To your surprise, Katakuri removed his scarf and stabbed himself. He then scolded his little sister for interfering in his fight.

This was the first time you saw what he looked like underneath his scarf as you quietly watched them both.

Flampe: “You suck! Look at your gross mouth going all the way to your ears. Just like a pelican eel—! I’m ashamed to admit that I’m related to you!

Katakuri: “…”

He was clearly enraged, but he managed to stay calm and didn't react to her insults. Instead, Katakuri focused his attention on you.

Katakuri looked at your face with his crimson eyes, observing your reaction to Flampe's words. He had expected you to make fun of him like she did, but you were quietly watching as if you were judging him.

Katakuri seemed a little surprised to see you not making fun of him or expressing any negative feelings. He noticed your eyes glance at the scar on his mouth before meeting your gaze again.

Katakuri: “You’re not going to say anything, are you?”

Katakuri had braced himself for some negative comments or hurtful remarks, but you had been quiet through it all.

He was puzzled. He was used to receiving harsh words, and it was strange to see you not say them. It felt different being around you. His eyes scanned your face a few times, trying to figure you out.
