There's probably also a lot to say here about Kinn's inability to empathize with someone outside of his immediate circle, and the conflict that's happening because Porsche is nominally inside it, but Kinn didn't consent to that and hasn't accepted it. I also think that he and Porsche might actually be playing the same game here: neither of them WANTS this, so maybe if it's unpleasant enough, the other will call it quits! The problem, of course, is that a) Kinn is willing to play with gun-firing stakes instead of just wasabi stakes, and b) Kinn can misbehave and face basically no consequences, and the same is not true for Porsche.

Taken alongside the mafioso sequence in episode 1, you can argue that he's been so overexposed to deadly danger that he's burned out on it he treats it very casually, and doesn't seem to quite understand Porsche's more typical reactions.

(I do think - if we're going to take this whole sequence seriously, which I am incapable of not doing - okay, SERIOUS INTERLUDE: a big takeaway from this is that Kinn's perspective on the world is totally skewed.
