Since @nayruwu asked, I'll finally get into it! I'm SO SORRY for how late this is. This won't be that long and I might not point out much, but the Shinya and Kureto scene.
First off, I absolutely love how consistent this is with Shinya's character. Shinya is often a character whose behavior doesn't line up with how he actually feels about someone/something. He rarely lets negative emotions show at all, and if he's not putting on his cheerful persona, he's pretty outwardly emotionless. THAT is the Shinya we get here at first.
It makes sense. He's in a jail cell, alone (yet again). There's no one to put up a front for. However the second those walls come down it slides right back into place. Now yeah, this is likely also partially in excitement about no longer being stuck, but his dialogue continues to be about Kureto, so being seen again IS on his mind.
ANYWAYS! The actual dialogue. GOD THE DIALOGUE!!
What a fantastically subtle way for them to keep tabs on each other's condition without actually having to share how they're doing. Neither of them is one to really be honest about something like their condition, especially Kureto, but they're both wise enough to realize that this is what it is. Maybe it's a bit of boredom too, but by having it be right after Shinya's asking if Kureto is alive or not would imply that's not its only purpose, not to mention that Shinya immediately drops it and asks if he's alive yet again once he's freed. PLUS!! We have Shinya taunting Kureto here. He's trying to bait an answer out of him. If Kureto answers, even if it's to tell him to shut up, at least he'll know he's alive.
Now Kureto not answering and instead physically showing up to Shinya's cell too? I don't think it's a reach to say that's him showing rather than telling Shinya his condition. 'I'm fine, now it's time to get everyone else (which I wonder who that is. The rest of Guren squad?) and get out of here.' To some degree, it's a manga so it'd be a huge shame if Kureto only made a voiced appearance in the chapter, but just telling Shinya to get his ass in gear IS an option.
Anyways, longer than intended post short, they care about each other and it shows. We've seen it before, but it's always nice to have that reaffirmed. It's also nice to see how this little interaction stuck so true to their characters and what we know of them.
