Well there isn't quite a sense of camaraderie but I found the first scene where Long Chau is sitting in The Shadow's Child's office and getting low-key lectured on her drug use amusing.
For example:
Long Chau was drugged to the gills, and more: her triggers were all out of balance, too slow at low stimuli and completely wild past a certain threshold. The Shadow’s Child accessed Long Chau’s public records, again. She finally asked a question she usually avoided. “The drugs—did your doctor prescribe these to you?”
Long Chau smiled. “Of course not. You don’t need a doctor, these days.”
“For some things, maybe you should,” The Shadow’s Child said, more sharply than she intended to.
