Aaron "I don't care for Kenji" Warner
Can we talk about the fact that Warner was literally the only person who noticed Kenji's actually not okay? Like, everyone in second trilogy was buying Kenji's funny guy shell and no one EVER seemed to realise how depressed, anxious and traumatised he is deep down. No one except for Warner:
“You lie to yourself, Kishimoto. You hide your true feelings behind a thin veneer, playing the clown, when all the while you’re amassing emotional detritus you refuse to examine."
And you know, Warner can sense emotions and sh*t, fine. But except for knowing something's wrong with Kenji's mental state, the guy literally connected two dots and realised Kenji swears more when he's angry with Castle. Explain me, how someone who doesn't care notices such details. Especially for Warner, who may be smart, but usually focuses only on important stuff and doesn't give a f*ck about other people.
“I want to know what’s happening with you and Castle.”
“What?” I blink at him. Still confused. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing wrong with me and Castle.”
“You’ve been more profane in the last several weeks than in the entire time I’ve known you. Something is wrong.”
“I’m stressed,” I say, feeling myself bristle. “Sometimes I swear when I’m stressed.”
He shakes his head. “This is different. You’re experiencing an unusual amount of stress, even for you.”
And I know that in this conversation Warner doesn't play the role of concerned friend who tries to solve other friend's problem, I know. I just want to point out that with his "I hate everyone who's not Juliette" attitude such behavior is pretty remarkable. And shows that Dickhead Warner cares for "Inconsiderate Ass" more than he would ever like to admit.
