Observation of the group dynamics, based on this latest chapter.

Ayato and his supporters are all in one part of the room, with a lot of physical closeness or body language conveying support. It's all the Executives we know about, plus Torso.

Then we have Eto and Noro, hanging off in the distance observing and LOLing.

Finally, we've got Tatara facing off with Ayato, and Takizawa hanging around behind him. (Separate from the group, free to talk shit all he wants, and protected by Tatara when Ayato goes for him.)

That looks like a rift to me, if anything. The mid-rank Leadership expressing discontent, and the higher-ranks (and their attack dog) looking down on their field commanders.
