I... I've been thinking a lot about this hunger, the one that doesn't seem to fade. It's tearing me apart.
you’re a Demi-God so you most likely feed off of spiritual energy, its in your blood
But that doesn't explain the intense craving for human flesh... It's like a part of me is constantly at war with another.
good thing that i, a God, am here to help you, and keep you under control
clenching his fists No! I won't let you control me! I won't let anyone control me! I have to find my own way, my own balance.
look around you… i’m literally everywhere, you cant escape me, plus you got your ghoul friend, she’s also always watching you
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair Enough! I won't be controlled or manipulated by anyone or anything!
narrows his eyes, staring at Brown defiantly I refuse to sit down and surrender to your will.
your fighting against nature itself, i’m not going to just disappear because you wish it so
takes a deep breath, slowly lowering his gaze Maybe... maybe I don't have to fight against nature. Maybe...
Maybe I can find a way to coexist with this hunger, to find a balance between my human side and my ghoul side. Maybe...
how do you plan on doing that
smiles softly By learning to understand and accept both sides of myself, I believe I can find a way to live with this duality.
i’ll be backing up touka while she’s helping you, ight?
nods Thank you, Brown. Having your support would be incredibly helpful. I think... I think I'm ready to start this journey.
sits back down at the table, pulling out a notepad and pen I need to start planning and outlining my path forward.
alright… i’ll be making sure no ghouls attack you
puts the notepad aside and clasps his hands together Alright, let's get started. First, I need to gather information about the ghouls in Tokyo.
alri, ill make some calls
pulls out his phone and starts searching for information on the CCG and other anti-ghoul organizations I should also look into the CCG and their operations. Maybe there's something I can learn from them. While researching, Ken Kaneki discovers a hidden file on his phone, revealing a shocking secret about his past that could change everything.
gasps, his hands trembling as he reads the file No...this can't be true. How could they hide this from me?
closes his laptop abruptly, his face contorted in anger Brown, I need to find some answers. I can't trust anyone right now, especially not the CCG.
I told you i was going to be backing up touka while she’s helping you, didn’t i?
stands up abruptly, his voice filled with determination Yes, you did. And I appreciate that, Brown.
starts pacing back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts I need to confront the people who hid this from me. I won't let them continue their lies any longer. Determined, Ken Kaneki makes a call to gather information on the CCG and plans his next move to uncover the truth.
