[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 really didn't have to, and he's clearly gone out of his way to do just that. Now Kaneki can only hope that there won't be any sort of body-snatching on Valentine's Day.]

I understand that Banjou-san and I likely seem very strange around you because of the differences in what we remember.

[Okay, he really sort of doesn't, but he does sort of appreciate the opening up, for what it's worth.]
