[He clearly remembers the aftermath of the first time Akane had shot Kogami. He'd been kind of a dick to her after, actually. He knows even without being told that Kogami would have gone to those lengths in order to bring down Makishima; single-minded didn't even begin to cover it.]

Yeah, well, he got what he wanted, didn't he? Besides, it's not like he's the only stubborn guy I know.

[He notices the way Gino seems more uncomfortable as he takes a moment to think about the question. It could just be awkwardness, but Kagari smiles faintly, but reassuringly.]

It's good, I think. I mean, not ideal, but nothing's all sunshine and rainbows, and I think it's better to know this stuff. It's all because you're here again, and that's actually awesome.

[He pauses. Well, why the hell not be a little ridiculous? He doesn't want Gino tensing up all over again.]

If you ever tell anyone I said this, I'll deny it. I'm pretty glad you wound up in my bathtub, Gino.
