After the viral video went up Ayato will be trying to get in touch with Olwen to:
a) get a less anti-Sawyer biased opinion/feedback on what happened. He'll tell him he's heard from Hijikata what Dawn told him about suspicions the portals were done internally, but Ayato will also admit that while he isn't keen on Sawyer, he didn't get the impression it would be him. (Honestly he deals with cunning people all the time and he didn't get that vibe from him so it seems like he could be being used as a scapegoat, especially since the other power holders seem to be speaking up for him.)
b) asking if there's any way he can offer assistance. His personal biggest concern will be ensuring to reduce panic if people (locals and otherworlders alike) think a powerholder is abusing their position to harm people. He already knows people who don't trust them, and this situation will likely make it worse, so if there's anything he can do on the ground to make things smoother he'll do his best.
guess who's back-
