Iceland is yet another person Kaoru has more or less liked from the start! Who was also kind of a nonentity for him for a lot of the game because he was so busy trying to pinpoint who would be a threat and who he had to keep an eye out on. While he knows that nations in general can be a bit of a wild card and have A Lot More Issues than they let on, he never really particularly thought that Iceland would be one of the people to snap and kill anyone and probably wouldn't fight for any of the incentives either, since a lot of them aren't quite geared toward the vastness of incentives that a nation crowd would go for. So he was pretty content to just putter around playing chess with him in the meantime, which he did actually appreciate a lot more than he's said yet, because it kind of gave him this link to normalcy that helped to keep him grounded.

During Austria's trial his heart really did go out to Iceland there because ouch, calling out for your sibling, he knows that feeling. He honestly wasn't expecting Austria to confess either since he didn't understand what her plan was, so he was like 100% sure Iceland was a deadman BUT THEN HE WASN'T. And then a lot of shit kept hitting the fan so Kaoru didn't really notice just how far into a bad place Iceland was slipping until he had a tiny meltdown after the w9 trial, which was the point where he was like "I SHOULD PROBABLY SAY SOMETHING". It also gave him something else to focus on which he really honestly needed at the time because he was such a wreck, so he was basically like, "if I'm gonna be a wreck I can at least help out this other dude who's a wreck". That's what inspired the whole you're worth more than what makes you thing came from, since that was one of those personally apt pieces of advice.

He was a little worried about Iceland in the finale too, but he also absolutely trusted that Iceland would be able to make it through in the end. He didn't know Iceland specializes in starvation and fishing and survival BUT HE WAS GOOD AT IT. He and Sebastian were basically the herders when it came to danger, which Kaoru was grateful for. He's glad that Iceland made it through and that his crazy puffin is a-okay and that he was able to reunite with Norway! He is slightly concerned about there being so many crazy nations in one spot now, but he will try to have faith that they won't be Apollo and blow things up, at least. Now that they're back at the base he'll probably start striking up chess matches again and ask more about that book from the conversation that the acid rain SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED.
