WE SHOULD'VE SHIPPED,

Oh, Kagachi! Kanesan loved him. It was great having another person around who reminded him of home! He spent every one of his threads with Kagachi going, “wow, he’s just like Ookurikara!” and decided he wanted to be friends almost immediately, because the thing about Kara? He isn’t friendly, but he comes with built-in friends in the form of the other Date swords. As far as Kanesan knew, Kagachi had no one, and that was unacceptable.

He also figured that Kagachi would be one of the most useful people here, if given half a chance to help the rest, and that was a major plus. It meant they should get to know each other if only to be able to work together a little more cohesively! Understanding each other’s motivations and all that is very helpful when you’re on a mission together, you know?

That said… he was never convinced that he actually broke through Kagachi’s shell. Kagachi never really acted differently towards him, never really warmed up or anything. Granted, Kanesan isn’t sure if he can warm up in the usual sense (some people just aren’t like that, and that’s fine!), but it made it infinitely harder to tell how Kagachi felt. But he liked their spar, even if he still thinks that scythes are an inferior weapon, so honestly he was hoping to do it again someday!

Also he was delighted when he found out Kagachi had a role too. Kagachi very clearly wanted to help everyone who was trapped, so Kanesan was certain that being granted a role, whatever it was, would be the perfect way for him to do so. And he was very excited to work together with Kagachi, as two of the people with roles. But of course, he died, and that kinda nixed that whole thing, hahaha.

Kanesan had no idea that Kagachi felt the slightest bit of respect or anything positive towards him until he said so in the trials. He respected Kanesan? Wow! Nice! They were friends? Awesome! lmao but honestly? He’d thought their conversation before he died had actually gotten Kagachi’s ire because of the circumstances of their roles - Kagachi had seemed a little angry that his role was… perhaps less proactive than Kanesan’s? Being that he was dead, it wasn’t important, but it did disappoint him a little to leave things feeling that way, until more positive remarks came up in trial. It was nice, knowing that he’d actually gotten further with Kagachi than he realized. Friends!

Not that he could really do anything about it, except offer what little information he had from the graveyard. He’s not sure what Kagachi thought of all that, really? But it is what it is. Kanesan is just glad for a chance to say goodbye (and hear from Kagachi himself that they’re friends, lmao he’s going to treasure that moment until the demons take over), though he doesn’t intend to give up on himself or the others that are trapped on the island with him. After their last conversation, Kanesan wants to find a way to free them all, and he hopes that if they do, he can someday see Kagachi and spar again.
