I wish it were a true connection, but Asbel is Suzaku. As such, when he's sad, he gets... sad. 90% of the time, sadness results in him being crushed under the weight of his depression with that sad faceplate in skits to top it off. He really only got angry this time out of desperation.

Now, as a chibi, maybe Asbel was less honest with his feelings and more prone to explosions of anger when confronted with sadness.

But Cheria's observation here is pretty consistent with her closeness to and her opinions of Asbel mostly being in the past-tense. And I certainly don't fault Asbel for saying she's right, because he's easily steamrollered by other people's opinions of him.

Lalalala, and then I made their interaction during this kind of depressing to meeee.
