Everyone else thought Rorschach's brother could be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiations, but Kano never saw it that way.
Franz would only have value as a bargaining chip if Rorschach truly cared for his relative. But if that were the case, using his own flesh and blood to threaten him and barter for advantages would be a grave offense.
'What a bunch of emotionally stunted morons. They don't understand that the most expensive things are those you get for free, nor do they know what can be put on the table and what must be handled behind the scenes...' Kano felt that without him in the Tower of Stars, leaving matters to those one-track-minded idiots would only result in them doing more harm than good.
So, he decided to use Franz to do his former student another favor, leading him to the lounge next to the Meeting Room. "There's someone who has been waiting for you."
