I suspect your willingness is somehow important to them.
[ Why bother employing recruiters to trick the many gullible ones here otherwise? Abducting them and brainwashing them would be so much easier if foot soldiers are all the CDC needs. She thinks it's not that simple. There's something to do with consent, but she hasn't figured it out yet. ]

Good. I'm glad to hear it :)

It's good to be obedient. To a point. I hope you will know where that line lies, Kaneki.

[Technically his obedience lies with Dagger more than anyone else—Kaneki takes the whole "hand that feeds you" thing pretty literally. But if she was relaying orders from him, he supposes it applies to Amber by proxy as well.]

I believe I do, but we'll just have to see.
I'll see you around, Amber.

Now that you mention it, I wonder why they don't employ methods like that.
Possibly because some of us have powers that might be difficult to control without prior knowledge of them.

If there comes a point where it becomes necessary to do what I must here, I won't hesitate to contact you.

Oh, that's right. They were pretty determined to get a verbal affirmation on that.
I wonder why that is...
[They resort to blackmail easily enough to get someone's agreement, so it almost seems like a moot point...]

[Because that's what he'd originally contacted her about.]
