Tachibana as the wise sounding board for someone as troubled as Mutsuki will never not be funny to me. I cannot imagine that any advice Tachibana were to give Mutsuki about atoning for failure or jeopardizing relationships would be of any help whatsoever. Mutsuki overcomes his trials and feels ashamed of his actions. Tachibana overcomes his trials and has a You Can't Make A Delicious Tachibana Omelette Without Breaking A Few Friendships perspective on everything. And they still let him talk to Mutsuki!!!

It's a slightly fun reversal, how we're supposed to be terrified of what these possessed Riders could be doing to our beloved Mutsuki and, I guess, Hajime, but then it's clear that Kenzaki and Tachibana are maybe in more danger than the other two. It's pretty entertaining, I thought.
