Somewhat justified by the superhuman strength of a Xam'd (and, in the first case, by the fact that she wasn't terribly interested in breaking free anyway).

%% * HiddenDepths: He's one of the more psychologically-complex characters in the series.
* JerkAss: As a result of his hatred/prejudice towards Xam'd and his jealousy towards Akiyuki.

But he used to sneak back into the kitchen... through the back of the clinic, without being seen. I knew all about it, of course. I realized what was happening when I'd let him in to apologize, there would be rice grains stuck to his face. And I'd notice that half of his rice was missing.
