I agree with Blue Luna. Between Jack and the main series, there are so many hints about Arima being a very lonely person with an empty life. The narrator of ''A Crossbreed' talks about how the creature is his comfort, and the conflicted feelings he experiences over thoughts of mercy-killing it.

His treatment of Sasaki is unlike his treatment of anyone else, save perhaps the budding friendship with Taishi during Jack. He's permissive, he smiles and has relaxed body language, and they have shared interests.

We also know how isolated he is from most people, who either feel resentment or awe towards him. Sasaki (and Juuzou) are the only people to have treated him as Arima, as opposed "CCG's God of Death". That must be refreshing for him.
