[ there are limits to friendship, though. And is Josuke knew everything Kaneki did, he'd soon realize that limit. Because Kaneki is not a pure person, a good guy anymore; he is a monster who did monstrous things. And he might be smilling now, and he might not push away his friends anymore - talk to them, reach for them, ask their help, he doesn't have to take all the weight by himself alone; this is something Kaneki decided on - but Kaneki feels that much of what he did is... terrible. And there is no excuse for it. He doesn't want to push his friends away anymore, he wants to protect them always, but does he deserve all of it? After what he became and did and is? It's so hard to say he is not a monster, even if he doesn't think monsters should have people caring for them like his friends do.
That's why he is thanking him.
And it's alright if Josuke doesn't understand. ] For listening. [ that's his answer, but it doesn't cover half of the reason why kaneki thanked Josuke.
He reaches for his eyepatch again, putting it on. Though he can control his eye now, it's just a strange reminder of what he was. And maybe it's better to use it, even if it's just to make sure his eye won't react. Just a reassurance. ]
