It's a temporary setback, Banjou-san. We'll be sent back one day, and he'll know how valuable I am to him then.
[His hand flutters a bit then, settling lightly on his chest.]
I'll be fine, no matter what happens; you know I can take care of myself. And I'm not interested in acting to his detriment for obvious reasons.
[The best solution is to do nothing. He knows Tsukiyama doesn't want to hear that. Kaneki doesn't see either of them as a friend, though. He's not going to want much to do with Tsukiyama, and Banjou isn't sure he has the energy nor the ability to explain everything that's happened.]
You're right, of course.
[He eyes the PokeBall again.]
I'll get this healed up, then, and send it off to Kaneki.
