Well, even Hanamura managed to help Kanji somehow. [There is some sarcasm there, but it's not as cutting as it once would have been. He knows how Hanamura helped Kanji.]

Can you really see Kanji being the 'calm down' type? He needed to hear itmore often than not, especially when Naoto got kidnapped.

It's good to talk to you again. For the first time. Thing. This stuff's needlessly complicated sometimes.
