The atmosphere at the wellsite became tense among the five gentlemen due to Henry's sour mood after a heated argument over the phone. Amy hung up on him and stopped taking his calls, which made him grumpy throughout the site tour. While he maintained professional behavior with Ash, his irritation and inability to control his emotions were evident in front of Rei, Anton, and Theo, with whom he had a longer working relationship.
Ash was unaware of the phone argument as he was with the head engineer when Amy called Henry. However, he could still sense that something was wrong, even though Henry was not openly displaying his bad mood.
As they continued their tour in the wellsite, Ash leaned over to Rei and asked in a hushed tone, "Rei, do you know what's going on with Henry? Could he be having second thoughts about funding my project?" He couldn't shake off the worry that he might be the cause of Henry's strange behavior.
