'It's your fault you made me deal with them, so I won't accept any scolding now,' I thought, picturing myself putting on a brave front in this unnecessary confrontation.

This was my only chance of doing so, given how Chihiro was leagues away from crossing any of the actual red lines beyond which I would have no other choice but to consider him an active enemy.
