Exactly. It seems like violence is what Mutsuki wanted, taunting and threatening them while never actually going for the kill. Just like Arima (and Kaneki) at Cochlea, Mutsuki was aiming to provoke a loved one into putting them down.

And in terms of real life Crisis Intervention, violence is usually the least effective approach. It can be a last resort, but getting someone to de-escalate or simply run out of gas is the desired outcome.
