It was 5 : 00 and Kaneki was standing in front of the cafe, waiting for Tsukiyama. Ten minutes later, he showed up.

"Let's get inside, Kaneki-kun." Said Tsukiyama, opening the door for him.
"Tsk! Don't treat me like a lady." Said Kaneki, annoyed. He still didn't like him, nor trust him. They entered the shop and sat down at a table near the window.

"Now, tell me everything again, Kaneki-kun, then I shall give you my answer to your questions and problems." Said Tsukiyama. Kaneki sighed and told him everything again.

"Mn hm, I remember it now. Now, my answer is, do nothing." Said Tsukiyama. "What?!" Exclaimed Kaneki. "I spent over half an hour telling you my problem and you said your answer is do nothing?!?!" Kaneki shouted, and some costumers turned and looked at them.

"Yes, that's my answer." Said Tsukiyama. "Useless!" Spat Kaneki. "Oh, non non. Kaneki-kun, listen to me. When it comes to 'love' and 'relationship', these two tricky little bastards, sometimes being too aggressive is a bad idea. Keep calm, take your time, and cool yourself. Try and talk to that girl again later." Said Tsukiyama.

"Yes! That's what I've been doing. And the point is, she isn't picking up my phone calls or text messages or anything! I've tried that months ago and it never worked. And now she's treating me like I'm an invisible man!" Said Kaneki through gritted teeth.

"Then the problem must be your appearance or behavior." Said Tsukiyama. "But my behavior is fine and I don't look ugly or anything!" Said Kaneki. Tsukiyama sighed and covered his forehead with his hand.

"Kaneki-kun, this time it really is your problem. Even I, a man who just met you yesterday, could tell. You painted your nails black, dyed your hair white, though I really like it, and ruined my garden and mansion yesterday night. How could you say your behavior is fine?" Said Tsukiyama.

Kaneki's mouth fell open. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't. Tsukiyama was right, and he knew that.

"I'm sorry." Said Kaneki, looking down. "Don't apologize to me. Go find the girl and apologize to her. Oh by the way what's her name?" Said Tsukiyama. ".....Kirishima Touka."
"Oh Kirishima-san! Tres bien!!" Shouted Tsukiyama.

"What?" Kaneki asked coldly. "Kirishima-san, I happen to know her too. She's an old friend of mine. And I'm a loyal costumer of Anteiku. That cafe is my favorite place. I used to go there everyday, Kaneki-kun." Said Tsukiyama.

".......What a big surprise...." Said Kaneki, standing up, walking toward the door. "Where're you going? Kaneki-kun? Our chat is not over yet."
"I'm leaving. You'll only make things worse." Said Kaneki, and he stormed out of the cafe.

"Okay, see you, Kaneki-kun. I'm sure we'll meet again. My great appetite, bon appetite, will bring us back together." Muttered Tsukiyama.

"Shit! That nutter! Totally screwed it up!" Kaneki muttered angrily while he walked toward his apartment. When he reached his door, he saw a woman and three man standing there.

"Ah!! You filthy little scumbag!!" Shouted the woman. ".....Aunt..." Kaneki said emotionlessly. "You killed her!! You overworked her!! And you let it happened!! It was all your fault!!! Get out of my apartment right now!!!!" Shouted his aunt.

"Get out of the way. It wasn't you who rent this apartment. Mom rented it." Said Kaneki. His inside was raging, but he didn't show it. "She's dead, so it came under my name! Now I'm the one who's renting it!!" She shouted.
