Despite what outsiders think, Guzma doesn't take his aggression out on the grunts. He takes it out on Po' Town itself. Destroying things, graffiti, it all adds up. Sometimes he breaks down after a bad episode because he's scared he might do something Awful like his father did. The grunts know he wouldn't, but it's hard seeing him like that.
I feel that’s a very fair headcanon- like, in the games, we’ve seen evidence that the Grunts are scared that Guzma will flip his lid, but never actually of him like, hurting them directly. Plumeria probably wouldn’t allow for it, either, and he’s gotta respect Plumes.
Their fear is probably something like, a combination of ‘big yelly shouty big scary angry man’ being a legit trigger to some (like it is with me, I’m sure if Guzma shouted at me a certain way I’d have an actual anxiety attack), and partly a worry that one day he MIGHT actually hurt them. Of course, there’s the worrying that he’ll hurt himself- and in the manga, we’ve seen direct evidence of that worry (but the manga is so fuckin weird man it’s barely canon).
There’s probably been a point where he’s seen that Fear in the Grunts’ eyes, and in it, he’d seen a reflection of himself in a way that reminded him so much of somebody else- so much of a time when he was the one, standing in fear.

In the background of these scenes, Rowan is seen sad by herself bc apparently MC doesn't hang out with her anymore.
I understand the hunt for MC's brother, the vaults, there's also an assassin after them, their studies... but They Are Roomates, so it's no like they don't see each other every day and attend nearly all classes together...
I also believe Rowan wouldn't have stopped helping us with the research - no way Rowan wouldn't have researched every single thing to know about Mahoutokoro as soon as we learned the WIW is from there or the white owls or Peter Pettigrew (yes, I'm not letting that one go) - not only because it's important, because there's a literal death threat against MC's friends, but to stay close to MC and this how they can reach them.
MC needs Rowan, since year one it was them by our side one way or the other. And as far as I remember, WE NEVER TRULY ADRESS HOW ROWAN FEELS ABOUT THE ATTACK IN Y5, like is she afraid? Uncertain? Is she the one looking for distance from MC for their safety? We could've seen her bonding with Ben since she judged him so much because of what happened in y4.
Maybe it's because of my headcanons - for example, in my thing Rowan and Indigo are in a dorm just the two of them - but makes little sense that MC is distancing from them, since they're not getting closer to anyone else anyway (ALL our friends constantly mention how we don't hang out with them anymore).
This is just some cheap and unsupported plot device to make what happens in ch18 sadder and is truly pathetic.

So let's get one thing straight: Rowan's death in 6th year is very upsetting. But I think that JC failed to include a proper depiction of the sheer impact the death of your own best friend can have on you. Therefore, I came up with a few headcannons on how Okami reacts and copes. Well, coping isn't really a good word to use here.
First of all, Okami is already small, to say the least. So when Okami stopped eating due to her intense grief and stress, she grew even thinner, her blood pressure dropping to almost dangerous levels.
Penny was also devastated, but she had much healthier coping mechanisms than Okami did. She was there for Okami and the others.
Merula and Ismelda obviously stopped bothering Okami like they usually did. Instead, they helped (forced) Okami to take better care of herself. Can you blame them? The girl had straight up stopped sleeping, only fueling herself with coffee and wide-eye potions.
Okami also tried to stay inside her dorm for the time being, but McGonagall wouldn't allow it, for safety reasons (and not to mention to keep Okami's mental health in check.)
Talbott eventually pitched in as well, practically following Okami around (not to be confused with stalking, as Merula and Ismelda practically were doing) to make sure she was functioning properly. And if she wasn't, he would put a stop to whatever she was doing beforehand to make her rest.
Merula and Ismelda eventually confronted her, demanding that she slows down and puts her health first before anything else. Okami took it the wrong way, and thought she was being yelled at/scolded. She became very stressed, which led her to fainting right in front of the two Slytherins.
Tldr: When Rowan died, Okami did NOT have good coping mechanisms. In fact, she was practically mentally (and physically) deteriorating.
