[His hand doesn't once leave Kaneki's shoulder, his fingers, his grip, ever solid against the material of the others' shirt, making no motion of moving or shifting anytime soon.
There's a look in Kaneki's eyes, one that is almost dizzying for Hide to watch. But he won't idle; he won't let the other sink into this spiral that he believes himself in.]
You protected me this long, why would I be angry? And It'd take more than a few secrets kept from me to be hurt, Kaneki. You're always doing that sort of thing, keeping things secret to protect those around you from yourself. You did it back then, and you're still doing it now.
[A slight chuckle, and he shrugs his shoulder.] To be ashamed would suggest you've done something to purposefully shame me.
[A smile moves it's way over his features, his head tilting to the side.] And as if I could be afraid of you. Come on, it'd take more than you becoming part-ghoul for me to run away. Who do you think you're talking to?
