one

A human with flesh. A ghoul for a hunger of flesh. In a society where ghouls are considered a threat for being hungry. Ever since I was little, I thought it was unfair for them, the ghouls. They're just living the life they have, normally.

Years back, I worked at a cafe. It was a peaceful and relaxing cafe. I was human, but the ghouls trusted me. They knew me for my protests, and my appearances on the television, and they trusted me. I served coffee, the only drink ghouls are able to consume.

I met a guy, full human, named Kaneki. He was 18, and I was only 16. Everyday, when he came in, I would see him reading a book. He was like a sun, he shined so brightly and I loved it. I remember once, he asked me if I was the girl who did ghoul protests. I felt happy that he knew me.

"Uriana, I like that name." I remember I blushed when he said my name. I've always hated my name, but when he said it, it seemed like I've never had the hatred twords it.

Every now and then he would invite me to his table and sit there, and we would converse. We laughed, talked about books, and got to know each other. It was not long until I fully fell for him, and him as well.

We went on dates, held hands, and hugged. All this was new for the both of us. Two new lovers. Nothing was better than being with the one you love. But one day, he suddenly left.

I didn't see him for a long time. I was lonely. He never came up to me, until one day. He came in with a new look, white hair, and such a melancholic look on his face. "Where have you been?" I asked.

"Hell."

I was confused, and could never truly understand how he was feeling. I never questioned, which I should've. We went on dates, but it wasn't the same anymore.

He later broke up with me, and I wasn't even bothered. We accepted and moved on. I found another love, and I'm pretty sure he did as well.

I began to indulge myself in illegal activities, I guess you would say. I began working with one of the most infamous groups of ghouls, Aogiri Tree. I met Ayato there. He fell in love with me, and I did too, but not as much as I loved Kaneki.

The Uriana Kaneki once knew; smart, brave, honest, loyal, was no more. I think it was the break up. I acted like it didn't hurt, but it did.

Couple months after working in Aogiri, I became an officer, which has much power, but less than Eto herself.

I remember this so vividly; I had a knock on my door. I was half asleep. A man sat in the chair in front of me. I looked up, and it was him.

"Kaneki."
