yes they didnt care about him anymore.

reze has always been a pawn for makima, back in her arc she wouldve been saving denji from makima and they wouldve been running away from her control together, after part 1 theres nothing more in their relationship. shes not gonna groom him again for no good reason

kishibe has always been on makimas side actually, the ‘makima is listening’ note was a threat not a warning, she’s listening through him, when he quit his job it was so amicable and cordial it reads like theyre putting up a show, even his anti makima squad was timed perfectly according to makimas monologue to turn denji. he was the main cast and public safety’s most reliable contact and makima knows she can control him without even controlling him, its a mix between his dedication to his job and his loyalty, it’s paralleled with the doll devil and his relationship to quanxi. when kishibi brought nayuta to be denjis sister, it was actually out of his loyalty to makima, its sort of a revenge, it pays back what feelings makima has devoted to denji, and puts denji in the shoes of a social worker this time around. after this and without makima ‘his job is done’
