i'm laughing really hard because kaoru gained like +100 appreciation points for susan while he was gone. AND SO YOU KNOW he actually volunteered for position as the mole to keep other people from having to go through the game again so she would have already known about that part!
ANYWAY susan isn't the person he's closest to at all but i think he'd have grown to respect her over the years. he never had much of a strong personal opinion on her during MM1 beyond "dangerous obstacle" but i think being on the same side and seeing what she could do to further their cause would have generally put him in the mindset of a positive opinion! AND YEAH LIKE I SAID +100 appreciation for susan when he gets back... because he really missed her sensible sour face and her dry wit god susan he had to sit through potato races he was suffering. i don't think he'd consider her a friend necessarily, but he'd still risk himself for her safety because he's extremely loyal to the group on a whole and he'd probably do what he could if she ever asked for anything like med training or sword training or learning japanese or w/e.
