Comments

[amadaman]

Crabs may seem tough but underneath they're super squishy.

[yes ken because that analogy even makes sense]

[rassera]

And yet they still taste good! Who knew?


[Everyone knew.


Wait where was Ken going with this.]

[amadaman]

[Ken opens his mouth

Ken tries to figure out where he was going with that analogy
or where Kaneda is going with that response

Ken closes his mouth and shakes his head, sighs, and decides that he is too hungry to wait so he opens up the tupperware and picks out one slice of tamagoyaki to start snacking while they walk]

I have a feeling you just said something that would make Mr Bull laugh a lot but only Mr Bull.

[rassera]

[Well, it sounded a lot better in his head.

...There's a nudge of Ken's shoulder as they walk.]

--was kinda funny...

[It's like he's saying it to himself, but he's looking at Ken for that affirmation.

Don't deny it, Ken. Your bro has his own charm.]

[amadaman]

No it wasn't.

[But... Ken's laughing anyway, maybe the most genuinely that he's laughed in weeks. Quietly, but surely, and he looks just as at peace as he looks up at the sky, still eating those eggs.]

It's not a weakness, you know, having a soft spot. It's just a human thing to have.

[rassera]

It's not.

[Kaneda would be the first to agree there. Gentleness was something that certainly wasn't weak, just a different kind of strength. Tetsuo had it in stride, and in a way, deep down he had a little reserve of it himself, constantly shown to those close to him.

But it certainly couldn't survive in a tough world...Kaneda knew that better than anyone.]

But it has to be guarded.

[amadaman]

... Well, of course. Why else do you think it was only messed up kids like us that woke up to Personas?

[He puts the lid back on the eggs. And with a freed hand, he reaches over and nudges Kaneda's arm the way he did just seconds ago.]

Thanks for trusting us with it.

[rassera]

[That gets a smile out of him, feeling his arm move from Ken's push.]

You trusted me.

[Too much, if he thought about it objectively. Ken's trust in Kaneda almost got him sent to the hospital.]

[amadaman]

Of course I did.

[He says it easily, though they both know it wasn't easy. For both of them, trusting someone was not even close to second nature.]

You're someone worth trusting.

[rassera]

[It's rare to see Kaneda humbled, but the way he exhales, his breath forming a soft, misty cloud from his mouth, and the way he shoves those hands in his pockets, that comment means a lot.

His pace slows a little, but not enough to fall behind Ken, trying to think of an answer to that one. His usual one liners just weren't coming.]

You always can.

[He'll make sure of it.]
