[Kagari just gives Valjean a perplexed look at the mention of "brothers." It's a strange perspective for someone who's spent most of his life being treated as subhuman, this idea that all people are bound by a kinship of just sharing a species or whatever.
Back in Japan, that certainly wasn't true even for non-latent criminals. All it took was one video of a person being beaten to death in public, and the presence of the helmets that could allow a person to bypass the scanners, in order for an entire city to erupt into riots. It had been satisfying, honestly -- to watch the very people who'd dismissed him as nothing but a beast to be caged descend into animalistic savagery themselves.
Once again, Valjean makes himself an exception. Someone who truly believes all people are meant to be good to each other.]
Tch, don't give me that. You went outta your way to help me the first time we ever met.
[To Kagari's perception, any kindness he showed after that was merely evening the scales.]
