Psycho-Pass

[Ryllharu]

The old man has seemingly given up and is just living from day to day and wants nothing to disturb his peace; so he willingly advices Akane a lot to make sure she just lets things slide as smoohtly as possible. Although he also looks like the kind of a person who would suddenly snap if given a chance.

Akane was insightful enough to notice that the old man's words as they were leaving the mall translated to, "Don't get in our way. You're only needed on scene with us because it is required."

He seems friendly, but currently he dislikes her as much as the young guy does. The other two women are at least courteous to her, but they're not friendly either.

Yeah. He's old and thus has more experience under his belt. Despite being a latent criminal, he's still in good control of his feelings and actions, unlike the young chap. So, he doesn't lash out with harsh words, but rather tried to make sure Akane won't cause unnecessary trouble by fumbling around blindly. But like you said, he's not really any happier, deep down. Plus I don't think he'd be as quick to change his point of view as the young dude.

I hope the next episode will reveal something more about the silent woman. It does seem like a manly place, so she could use a friendly woman around.

If what she was doing in this episode was any indication, she was a member of a light music club in school, but her lesbian tendencies were vehemently rebuked by the other girls in the band, the strain causing the group to break up and making her a latent criminal due to the feelings of betrayal.
