[He's half tempted to argue that - but they're a pair! You can't separate them! Sure, he wants both - why wouldn't he?! But then he looks a little closer at the two, asking himself if he really wants a smaller version of himself on his keys. That's where it's supposed to go...
That'd be weird, right? Maybe just a little. He's got an ego he's hard at work at trying to grow back, but even at its largest, it's not big enough to justify doing that. Besides, if he can only have one... It feels a little stupid, but any small reminder that he's got a place alongside Kaneda that he can get, he's quick to grab hold of. He won't even have to admit that's what this is about.
This is just a logic puzzle. A little game. And he knows the solution to it.]
Fine... then I choose-
[He closes his hand around both, sliding one forward with his fingers to hold it out, waiting for Kaneda to take it. If Kaneda does, he'll find the little figure of Tetsuo in his hand. Tetsuo's keeping Kaneda's key chain against his palm. It's no accident, either; he looks at the choice, and THEN adds to the sentence.]

This one.
[Technically, they're not split apart at all.]
