Shinju let out a quiet laugh at his description. "If you're all friends, maybe I'll meet him soon. I guess I can find out what kind of 'something' he is then."

Sure, he couldn't tell they were best friends, but just knowing they were friends was enough for him to understand a little about what Shinjiro meant: someone who was exasperating or a little over the top sometimes while still managing to be good to you. He knew how that went.

He really did seem to be looking forward to such a meeting. The more friends he could get, the better, to be honest. It may have been something of a petty reason to make friends, but... as much as he didn't want to admit it, he'd been lonely.
