Juzo: And that's when I finished Jason off!

Juzo had just recounted the raid on Aogiri Tree's base, the raid I took part in, if only he knew just who I was. He had found his way to my house, how? I don't know, but he was always a pleasure to talk to. He sat on the sofa while I on the chair perpendicular to it, around the coffee table.

Juzo: So anyway! I've heard you've seen some things

Y/n: Yep, taken out a good few ghouls already

Juzo: Aw, come on! No details? 

Y/n: Fine. Ok... let's have a think. Oh! The first ghoul I killed. So, my shift had ended, walking back home by myself when I was stopped in my tracks by a ghoul, its kagune in broad daylight. I guess it was looking for revenge or a rather difficult meal. Of course, given I am still here, I killed it

Juzo: Wait, if you had gotten off the job, then you didn't have your quinque with you, you leave yours at the office

Y/n: True, but you of all people should know I can do that

Just then, Iris entered, a bag slung over her shoulders

Iris: Off work early, Y/n? 

Y/n: Sadly for you

Iris: Camellia wa- wait... who is stitches?

Y/n: Juzo

Juzo: Hello! 

Iris: And who is Juzo?

Y/n: A coworker. Relax will you?

Iris: Oh, I'm sorry, Blackwatch hasn't been too friendly 

Juzo: Blackwatch?

Iris: Don't worry about it... ok, is it just me or is he cute?

Juzo: Wa-what?

Y/n: Don't mind her, Juzo. She's just a horny loner

Iris: Hey!

Y/n: I'm not wrong

Juzo: Is... there some sort of history I'm missing?

Y/n: Not really

I leaned towards Juzo and whispered into his ear. 

Y/n: She does think you're cute though

Iris, of course, heard me

Iris: Hey! You British fuck! Don't be spouting random shit like that!

Y/n! Or what?

She just glared at me as a smile found its way onto my lips. 

Juzo was still a little confused by Iris, not knowing what to make of her. Iris soon left the room which is when Juzo turned to me, a look in her eye that I seldom saw.

Juzo: Y/n... is Iris a ghoul?

Y/n: A ghoul? No. She's kind of like me

Juzo: Ooooh... how many people are there... like you?

Y/n: You could count them on one hand

Juzo nodded. We chatted a little more before he left. We both had work in the morning... and that meant seeing Nori again... and possibly Hiase. Oh, Kaneki... just what will I do with you? I can't kill him now, he has a public face that I would easily be linked to... so shit, guess I'm stuck.

The next day I went to work, Nori waiting for at the door, her arms crossed and two briefcases by her side. She was tapping her foot... something was on her mind. I got close to her and tapped her on her shoulder, waking her from her trance.
