White 28 is Kiai
When Black (Kato) plays a peep with the marked stone, White (Cho) does not simply connect at a. This is fighting spirit; kiai.

Black 29 is also Kiai
Not to be outdone, Kato does not simply play the solid connection at a, but plays a peep which "at the same time" defends the cut at a.
