kagune | CR CHART

amane kuzuryuu. one of the very first people he met, and one of the most important in helping him keep it together. she was a great strength to him when they were stuck in the prison, and he made a lot of promises to her and a similar amount to himself. he decided she would be a person he goes out of his way to assist and protect whenever she needs it.	jihyuk kwon. was hesitant to call him a friend for a long time, but he is definitely one now. saved him during the post-prison wasteland fiasco, and earned his respect by being reckless. getting jihyuk to talk about himself is like pulling teeth, but kaneki is starting to understand that that's just how jihyuk is, and appreciates the efforts when jihyuk actually tries to match his conversation attempts. currently staying in his room whenever he can. once they showered together, and it was kind of weird. he'd be interested in hearing the kind of music jihyuk can play, and he's currently searching for a guitar, but to no avail.	junko enoshima. please save him from this walking nightmare. he wants to believe she's a good person somewhere deep down, and keeps foolishly holding on to the idea that maybe he can break through her horrible crust to her gooey kindhearted core, but it just isn't going to happen. she saw him lose it one time, and he's at her whim as long as it keeps her from spilling his secret.
lily rammsteiner. good lord is lily ever important to him. when he needed someone to accept him, she was there. when he needed someone to console him, she was there. when he needed someone to save him, she was there. she makes him feel normal and she makes him feel strong enough to keep on keeping on, and he'll tear down cities to protect her. for valentines 2014, he'll be giving her a gift.	kazuya minegishi. one of his bestest best friends, and someone who makes him feel moderately normal. kazuya was friendly to him when they met, important in keeping kaneki sane after waking up from his nightmare life, straight into another one. they had a brief falling out, but after an apology and a can of old beans, kaneki is back to feeling close to him. currently, he meets kazuya a couple of times a week to walk together to haven north, and it's one of his favorite activities. he thinks kazuya is hiding something from him, but he doesn't ask about it. he'd like to know, but prying makes him feel like a hypocrite. kazuya gave him a can of instant coffee and it's kaneki's most treasured possession.	sayaka maizono. the light of his life, sayaka always does wonders to his mood. her smile is bright and comforting in a place where he feels dark and miserable, and she's very easy for him to talk to. she expressed interest in his favorite book, which is a major major plus, and there's something about her that makes him feel hopeful. he's fiercely mistaken about her, and thinks of her as a glass princess, no idea what she's like and what she's really capable of. for valentines 2014, he'll be getting her a gift.
naki. for naki, there's no love lost here. he makes him think of yamori, someone he's desperate to forget about, and he knows him, but won't say how, and that doesn't sit well with kaneki. he's dangerous in that he knows kaneki is a ghoul and could potentially put him in danger if he starts spreading it around, but... kaneki doesn't consider him a threat, as long as tsukiyama is around. he feels somewhat responsible for him, and as much as he doesn't like him, he's still thinking of ideas to keep him fed. somehow ends up accidentally patronizing him every time they speak.	shuu tsukiyama. he's been spurned twice by tsukiyama, and tries hard to remind himself loudly and often that he shouldn't be trusting this man again, but he finds it difficult not to when tsukiyama seems to genuinely want to be kaneki's right hand man. he has reluctant faith in him, but lord is he ever difficult to be around for any period of time. he still makes kaneki feel furiously uncomfortable, and he spends as much time away from him as physically possible. kaneki feels responsible for him, too, and shares his sacred instant coffee to curb his hunger--he doesn't feel safe around an even slightly hungry tsukiyama.	tatsuma sakamoto. a little goofy, but kaneki has a lot of respect for this person. even though he's often joking, kaneki knows from experience that he's got a lot of wisdom to share, even if it comes out at odd times. their relationship was strained after kaneki accidentally attacked him, cried, and proceeded to avoid the shit out of him for weeks on end, but eventually became repaired after some uncomfortable effort.
