What makes me perplexed and sad is Toshio is his best friend, but even in front of him Seishin has his walls up. Even if he's considerably not as rigid, perhaps, around him on occasions, I feel like that's all the more reasons for him to strengthen that barrier; Toshio is his best friend, the one he looks up to, the one he probably doesn't want to disappoint the most, the one he's perhaps most affectionate towards. What if he finds Seishin's true color/darker side unacceptable? While with Sunako, she already opens upto him since day one, and sometimes it's way easier to talk to a stranger than to people you're close to. Even if Sunako finds his darker side unacceptable, Seishin won't mind because Sunako is a stranger. And Sunako is a 'child', so he plays along and lets her do what she wants at first, which apparently continues on until an emotional attachment is formed. All in all, I'm glad he meets Sunako, even if I'm a bit displeased with the aftermath (I feel like it's unfair on Sunako's side) I once stated that I found Seishin's 'awkwardness' around Toshio a bit alarming, but this awkwardness is perhaps caused by Seishin's building his walls.
Now that I think about it, it can also be the case that Seishin gets mad at Toshio because he doesn't want to see him fall. Doesn't want to see him succumbing into a bad side and God forbid encountering troubles for that. Like, he scolds him also because he cares about him. I also think he retaliates that harshly because it greatly disadvantages people; Seishin's type is greatly ethical and moral and all that jazz after all, and Toshio acts like that out of selfishness, won't be surprising if he's mad. On 'worshipping Toshio' part... I don't think it's as 'severe' as worshipping him, but it looks to me that Toshio is a rather exclusive being to Seishin, more than merely a best friend. Seishin is amazingly oblivious about many things, but I don't think this really applies in how he perceives his relationship with Toshio; in my opinion, he must be mostly aware of what Toshio actually is to him, though he perhaps doesn't name it. His anchor to life, his 'reasons' perhaps, that he finds his purpose through him, perhaps. I feel that Seishin is the kind who serves people, and that here he kind of serves Toshio, things like that.
On the resenting part: Sinnesspiel also had agreed to it once I think, and now that you do too, that perhaps says something. I cannot really see it at the moment, but granted there's also lack of knowledge on my part. I've perhaps overlooked it. While I believe you two are more knowledgeable than me in several stuffs. (in short: I don't know much about the intricacies of interactions between people, I think haha)
On Seishin killing Ohkawa: I think that's also because he finds his position being threatened somehow? He's just awaken as a jinrou, his mind is perhaps in chaos. Also because he's all 'screw it allll' in a very indifferent manner when he's mad. I believe even people who are ethical and moralists can at times do things which are uncalled for when they really feel threatened.
