I think I might know someone who can help me. He's someone I trust -- I don't think he will ask or try to find out if I told him I couldn't tell.
[He feels a little like he'd be taking advantage of Tadashi's kindness, but that can't stop him. He can't out Hinami, and he can't push the blame on Kaneki either, no matter what the man may say. He's someone important to his friend. He knows they're friends; he wants to protect her, and she...
He gestures to his desk. There, sitting on top of a couple of books and what looks like a folded letter, is a handmade orange bracelet.] I received that from her, right before all this. She said we were friends -- it's not the same, but I thought I didn't have many friends before coming here, either. I found a lot here, and I want to think she's one of them. It hurt, and I was scared. I can't sleep if I think too much about what I let her do. But I'm not scared of her, or of being her friend.
[He had his eyes on the bracelet as he said so, but now he turns to Kaneki and smiles. It's sincere.]
I'll talk to her too, but please let her know I'll be okay. I'll get my arm fixed, but I healed myself right after that. It won't infect, and I'm doing okay.
