Why did the esper children attack Tetsuo with the toys? So I just watched Akira and I could follow the main storyline but it was unclear to me why the Esper children attack Tetsuo in the form of toys.

I can't believe they just did it to mess around. Especially since they act so mature later in the movie by first trying to stop, and after that going with Tetsuo.

So why did they attack Tetsuo with the toys?
It's been a while since I saw the movie but I know in the Manga that Kiyoko (the girl esper) had a premonition that Neo-Tokyo would be destroyed and Tetsuo would be involved, prompting the attack.
