Hierophant works methodically, finishing one task before starting another. He's still folding paper when the laughing starts. That needs to be finished first. Then the ribbons need to be folded. The laughing is another task added to a list that hasn't been prioritised properly in the absence of Kakyoin or instructions.

[ Doesn't would be more accurate. He didn't know. He doesn't know. Fuck. He just wanted to demonstrate that he could make chocolate better and she's laughing like she's possessed, like she's half burned and she's just seen two perfectly identical rocks.
He just stands in the doorway. Hierophant coils around her shoulders. ]
