[The sad thing is he really hadn't initially meant to say any of that, but he can't really take it back now. Everything about it was true, though that doesn't necessarily mean that Tsukiyama needed to hear it.

[He pauses for a moment; sends another.]
I appreciate that you've discussed this with me, Kaneki-kun.
[Okay, he really sort of doesn't, but he does sort of appreciate the opening up, for what it's worth.]
