    Cf. State v. Green , 16-0107, p. 14 (La. 6/29/17), 225 So.3d 1033, 1042, cert. denied , --- U.S. ----, 138 S.Ct. 459, 199 L.Ed.2d 338 (2017) :

    Here, defendant's conduct transpired within a very short period. ... Absent well-articulated reasons from the sentencing court, we decline to say whether it was an abuse of discretion to impose consecutive terms. Thus, we will remand the matter to the trial court to consider whether defendant indeed poses a grave risk to public safety and, at a minimum, to articulate reasons for the consecutive terms.
