Agreed - his model for close peer or near-peer interactions is Jien and later (God help us) Banri ... (and I always take emungere's Banri from "Clean" as the definitive picture of what's inside his head). We actually see some of Jien coming through in this latest volume, when the little youkai kid gets pinned under the fallen cart.
I have a feeling that Hakkai teases Gojyo's story out of him bit by bit. As we were saying at lunch, Hakkai is spilling his guts (bad choice of phrase!), and Gojyo is thinking a lot about his own story, but he's no saying anything.
