[ Geto isn't wrong. Yuta's sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, but when he's in the unique position of having seen Gojo's memories and to know his teacher's feelings, it's simply too hard for him to ignore. That it's taken this long for Geto to snap at him after already having so many vulnerabilities exposed and prodded at is probably something of a miracle. It's telling, too, that he is already not quite the same as the mania-driven man Yuta knew before.

The changing surroundings are only spared a quick glance before his gaze slides back, impassive.

[ Unfortunately for everyone involved here. ]
