Somehow his brain raked up an old memory of some similar situation as the one he found himself in. Not long ago Komui had told him something similar, about how Kanda had more of a chance to watch Lenalee grow than he did. It was how he noticed John wasn't looking at Ami through a romantic stand point but that of a brother, or a father, someone who just cared. He couldn't hate John for it, Ami was a special girl who had unfortunate things happen to her. She was confused but she wasn't a bad person.

"I don't think your giving Ami enough credit." He switched feet leading the way somewhere deeper. They could still be over heard. For, the A.I. of this branch had a nasty knack of getting her nose into other people's business. The last thing they needed was someone figuring out there was something wrong.

"She didn't exactly need you before you came along. I'm sure she would have found her way someday. She's a strong woman and she's smart. I'm sure if there's something she doesn't like, she would handle it. Or kill it." A chuckle. "We have that in common, at least."
