[CONSIDERING HOW KAORU VIEWS FAMILY THOUGH it's no wonder the idea didn't occur to him.......
But that shift catches Kaoru's attention, since the statement is poignant enough on its own, but it's the reaction and delivery that's most interesting. Kaoru can tell there's a story here that obviously isn't being told, but will respect that decision by only giving a faint hum of agreement.]
I'll treat her kindly... Though you shouldn't consider it a favor, Tenka-san. I consider her a friend, after all. [YEAH... oh boy.] She does seem like a very earnest and straightforward person, though. I can see where your concern may come from... But I'm certain that if she has people like you and Soramaru-san in her life, she'll be able to find happiness.
