Klavier watched Yomi carefully as she spoke. Her point was a very valid one. It could have simply been they chose the people whose personalities would be altered the most drastically, those who would be the most affected once they'd been returned to normal. He'd been told there were extraordinary efforts put into breaking people; this could just be one more of those methods. It certainly would explain his case.
And Yomi's? He agreed the woman was far more serious than her counterpart, almost to the point of being apathetic. Not that he considered that to be a particularly bad thing. He certainly wouldn't have minded seeing more women with a real sense of professionalism in the police department. But the way she had said that made him feel a small wave of regret... or perhaps pity.
...Confident as she was, it seemed like Yomi had some issues regarding herself in a positive light. She didn't sound like she thought very well of herself, and this entire experience only seems to have poked at that internal sentiment. It almost sounded like she was... well, jealous wasn't the right word to use here, but perhaps she'd seen something in Yoshiko she found... admirable? That must have been far better than experiencing traits she passionately hated.
For the first time during their conversation, he offered what seemed like a genuine smile toward her. "I'm sure you're quite intelligent. And that you can be both cute and nice when you want to be." The more professional tone had disappeared by this point in favor of a softer, more casual one. "No matter what traits you may have seen in Yoshiko, you have your own charm as Yomi. No one deserves to be 'punished' for that."
