Interjected

To abruptly insert a comment or remark into a conversation or ongoing activity. This action often disrupts the flow and can be intended to interrupt, add information, or express an opinion. The timing of an interjection is key; it happens while someone else is speaking or in a space that's not a natural break in the discourse. The nature of the inserted statement can range from a simple observation to a heated argument, and it always stands out as a deliberate action.
