Arima makes a striking distinction between personal and work life. The recent scene has Arima treating Haise coldly. But in nearly all of his other interactions, Arima is a pretty kind and caring individual. Geniunely so.

Now, if we cobble together context from Arima's past interactions with co-workers, not direct subordinates, he's also on friendly terms. The only other person Arima has a direct conflict with is not a co-worker but a direct subordinate, Hirako. I really believe the comment made to Haise about being Arima's "quinque" is less of an "I own you and can do with you what I want" and simply the expectation that Haise should abandon his reservations about killing his opponents.

I also find it kind of difficult to believe that through all the immense amounts of brain washing, Arima would directly say something that would trigger a relapse. But I could be wrong.
