[He staggers back a few steps at the push, boots skidding in the snow, but if Sano's not going to retaliate, then... Sousei's not going to take this any further either. Instead, slowly, he crosses his arms behind his back, posture proper military straight, and moves to walk right on past him.
Because Sousei doesn't mince words or waste time, and quite frankly, they have even less time to waste here and now. If Sano wants to go look for Chizuru, then that's fine. That's his decision.
But admittedly? Sousei might think a little less of him for it.]
I've said what I needed to say. [He's made his position clear.
The rest is up to Sano. And with that, he really does set out through the snow again--because he promised Tenka he would return in a reasonable period of time, because there are children who can't fight out in this, because his job has always been to protect civilians and people who can't protect themselves, even if in a different sort of way. The thought that he could be leaving someone to die because he hesitated here to argue further is one he can't tolerate.
