From what I've gathered, they did try the nanites on the natives, but they didn't work. [ it's something Kaneki is still figuring out why. It doesn't help the government is very secretive about the nanites and its fuel, the continuum, which kaneki thinks might have a lot of answers ] But there is a lot of controversy involving imPort deaths in the past. [ anyway - ]

I wouldn't say "sympathetic", but rather I understand their reasoning. They depended on heroes before, they shaped their country when was at its worst - so they look at us the same way. [ kaneki shrugs softly ] I would expect them to kill or arrest every single person that would come through the Porter as invaders, so they did surprise me on that end.
