Reciprocity is a type of response.
A response may be an emotional reaction.
A response may be an attempt to rationally communicate.
A response may be an attempt to communicate via emotion, if the receiver is tuned to emotion rather than rationality. The default transmission for children and animals is emotion. Fine tune the communication from rationality to emotion for adults, if necessary, particularly adults whose default response is to react emotionally.
Of course it goes without saying, a response may also be pure gibberish, or cant by rote.
However, defensive armoring as a response to open rational communication is not reciprocity.
