SINCE I MEET YOU

GHOULS

I yawns—buahhh...damn witch, I'm glad I don't have to see his face another day...now...I'd better look for Nyôko-chan.

I headed towards my parents' house, I would take the opportunity to find out about their plans for later, I was only a few blocks away, I didn't know if the ghouls attacked during the day or only at night...in fact, I had no relevant information about them.

*Ghouls, the report only said something once, but they didn't specify if they actually live among us, curious *(rang the doorbell) *yes that's the case, they could work or study with any human, agh... maybe one of them those vermin entered my head... noo, heh I must be hallucinating, that woman is crazy and someday I will take revenge*

—Konniichiiwa musume, naniga waru desu ka? (Hello daughter, is something wrong?)

—oh, iie, I only came for onnee-chan.

He nodded—hm, Nyôko-chan, onnee-chan is here!

—hai!

—and...etto...daijôubu? (are they fine)

—hm, nani? (why)

—etto... nanimo.

—onnee-chan! (She hugged me)

—mgh...

"Oh, daijoubu?"

—h-ha...sore wa nanimonai(it's nothing), auruku (walk) oh okaâ-san...anata wa...hogo suru(take care of yourselves)

—hai...

***

—this is my day at school, demo, what about you?

—ah? etto...I have nothing to say, I mean...it's boring. *if I tell him I'll probably tell mom and dad and they'll just worry about nothing*

"Did you fight with your boyfriend?"

"Heh, I don't have a boyfriend."

—Ohhh, (she crossed her arms) well go get one, you're getting old onnee-chan.

I laughed—well, we'll see in time,baka.

—that was not the topic, do you have your letter?

"I won't send anything onnee-chan, you know very well my situation with Eiji and Jun." I frowned.

—demo, (nostalgic) Osamu wants to know about everyone onnee-chan...

—what did you write to him?

—Well, only what happened at school, with okaâ-san, ottoô-san, your change of residence... boring things.

I smiled—that will suffice, if you mentioned my address I wouldn't doubt that their letters would reach me soon, as long as they aren't from Eiji.

"You won't forgive him, will you?"

"...don't you think it's stupid to ask in such an obvious way?"

"I just...I think you should put all that in the past."

—and I do, that's why I won't write to them... ever.

He sighed—you're stubborn.

I smiled—you know me, where do you want to go?

I have no idea, you know more around here than me.

—Yeah, that doesn't mean I go out that often... (shock) agh.

"Gomene, I didn't see you."

"onni...! huh?"

"Kaneki?"
