And completely sadistically in front of her too, and rubbing it in at both of them while doing it.
That just broke everything, plus what the hell at doing it right after Hinami and Touka finally killed his sadistic ass.

And then the rest of the season and second season like triples down on it with Mado's daughter and partner like you said who barely acknowledged how far he took his shit (I think even the daughter acknowledged it more than his partner).
