[Life really is such a tangled nightmare... if Kanda had the time or inclination to do so, he'd realize just how complicated his connection to the Order is. Even now, he can barely acknowledge that he has no idea how to live outside of it. Who is "Yuu," if not an Exorcist?
Lucas isn't wrong, though. And Kanda--he's not really capable of sharing those sentiments, not when he's seen plenty of other kids put through the horrors of war for the sake of humanity, but it's not like he hasn't heard them. Children shouldn't be out there fighting or they're so young, this isn't right, whispered throughout the halls of the Order by those old enough to grapple with the means to the end. Perhaps that's another difference between them--that the Order is not entirely filled with zealots.
He opens his mouth to say something, but the void won't let Lucas's secrets go unreciprocated. So, he gets a memory in return.]
