[Kaneki can understand being entirely absorbed, though for his part he's got much less of a mountain of books. He does recognize Shun when he passes, but he hesitates in greeting him. Should he say hi? Or maybe outside of work, he'd want to be left alone...
Mired in these considerations, he's jolted back to the present when Shun speaks to him, fumbling with the books in his hands]
Me? Well, I thought I'd check out some books...
[A statement of the obvious, perhaps, with a good half-dozen already in his hands. Shun is actually the reason he's in a position to check out books at all, so maybe he ought to say something?]
