Fades to Black [ hidekane ]

interlude (2.5)

Kaneki finds himself strangely attached to these anonymous plants. he won't let anyone water them with hospital water, no, he insists on getting unopened bottles of fresh water and using them because killing these beautiful plants with nasty hospital water is just a waste and Kaneki finds himself not wanting to be wasteful of these lovely gifts.

they're possibly the best and most sincere gifts he's ever gotten.

and

the white chrysanthemums dry up from hospital water

and Kaneki takes a sort of vindictive pleasure as the petals of his aunt's gift fall to the floor
