[Odd, maybe, but Karamatsu is in no state of mind to question it. Ichimatsu grabbing onto his hand snaps him out of whatever reverie that talking to their father had put him in, and it only takes the agreement of Matsuyo to coax him into one of the available chairs while Choromatsu returns with the drinks.
Now that the whole family is present and accounted for, the atmosphere is simultaneously less and more tense than it was. They all know what's going on, nobody here is oblivious to that fact. But it's also better being together for it than it was being apart. Karamatsu just wishes they were all together under lighter circumstances.
Karamatsu, after having upheld the position of eldest for what feels like ever since he returned home, is feeling the weight of all of that crashing down on him now as he watches his younger brothers shoot nervous glances his way when they aren't looking to Osomatsu.

Maybe that's why he's not saying anything.]
