Although Setosuke acts unapproachable, he is a very caring person, he cares deeply for Kobaki and Ayamei, He acts as if he has no choice but to listen, not that he doesn’t dislike it. Kobaki argued with Seth about saving Ayamei, but Seth felt the need to help her, seeing she was in major pain, this is also supported when Ayamei was sleeping for 8 months straight, Seth would frequently go in her room and lay down next to her to listen to her heartbeat and breathing patterns, Kobaki mentions how he was making worried noises because her breathing was uneven and she’d stop breathing for minutes.
