When she goes for the bite at the shrine before Ohkawa grabs her, Ozaki does seem to be lifting his chin. I'd thought maybe he intended to head-butt (because otherwise the obvious move would be to tuck your chin and protect the throat, wouldn't it?) but maybe he was planning to chin-stake. The reason he never fully shaved was to keep his secret stake barbed for extra attack power.
I'd thought they'd had the same situation until combing ahead for names/details for the family tree. From what I glanced in a more detailed, recent combing (my last graze was three years ago now) it seems he's similar but when Sunako suggests Seishin's story is an exact reflection of his dad's situation, Seishin seems to think it's a bit different, in part because he had someone like Toshio in youth to discuss the burden with and to discover that, if he were to be "free", what else was he really going to do, anyway?
Yeah, shounen/child characters' fall outs are so much more clear cut, aren't they? With either heart warming patch-ups or eternal begrudging rivalries. Adults have to be all mature about it, especially when they're required to work together.
As for Ozaki, I think he's a little too busy to look down on Seishin for that, what with how busy he is looking down on himself for going along with everyone's expectations and coming back, falling into his dad's old patterns of being Ikumi's (and everyone's) on call gossip victim, only really being there as a source of referrals for anything that won't fix itself with the usual meds and bed rest, etc.
RP account to showcase stake nose and stake chin. His face is a saw blade.
