Haha yeah so however good a grasp Kanaya had on the theory by the end of the game, that black ribboner thing hasn't gone so well for two reasons... First Annie and Kaoru and Lithuania and maybe even other characters have all been extremely chill about letting Kanaya feed from them and she is very bad at turning down actual generous offers. Second, the fashion design sublimation thing isn't going so well because the lack of supplies for fancy clothes gets her super depressed.

She feels like people put Susan on a pedestal so much and is pretty sure that somewhere underneath the sixteen black layers of sensibility is at least one dark gray layer of an actual person. Kanaya is not sure she will ever actually get through to that layer, partially because she herself is very afraid of opening up a two-way street. However nice Susan is, she isn't super well equipped to handle Troll Stuff. so barring some breakthrough Kanaya mostly tries to actually ask Susan what she wants to do on the weekend or which "movie" she wants to watch

It's weird, Kanaya really owes Susan a LOT in learning about how life actually has inherent value to the point that she has been trying to impress the same lessons upon Peko yeah
