At this, he goes quiet. Her father... trained her for such a heavy task? Someone close to his age, so young, having to go through something like that? There's no way she should be kidding, either. Annie just wasn't the type.
He turns to look at her a little more fully, his eyes settling on her face, as if he was expecting her to be wearing a morose expression. She... seemed pretty calm, despite just telling him something that heavy.
He wasn't sure if that made he amazing or ... something else, though. He'd hold judgement, still, though. Annie was... Annie. He couldn't see her like that; just like he couldn't see Kaneki as a monster.
"...I guess I don't know what to believe. I'm not you, or your father. I'm not from your world, either, so for all I know. Destroying an 'empire' was the right course of action."
He shrugs a shoulder, a hand scratching against the side of his cheek.
"I guess for me... all that really matters is the life you're living here and now. The past makes for a good story... but the present is what should be lived for."
