Fenina, Touka, Kaneki and you are sitting around a newly polished wooden table in the café apparently Touka works at. It's not too bad, the decoration is fitting and it has quite a humbling ascetic. "So," Fenina turns to Touka, "Do you know anything about this?"
"Well, Kaneki was only able to survive through a transplant. The organs were, unfortunately, taken from Rize, meaning Kaneki now has Rize's organs," Touka starts explaining, "that is the most plausible reason for Kaneki's one red eye."
It may be plausible for you but that made no sense to me whatsoever.
"But, why can't Kaneki eat proper food, then?" You ask.
"Ghouls' tongues are different than humans'. Coffee is the only thing ghouls can enjoy alongside humans," Fenina says, "but drinking coffee won't fulfil ghouls' hunger."
Your head fills up as a faucet full of questions gets turned on completely. You feel like your drowning in unrecognisable sentences and neatly drawn question marks. It's obvious that you couldn't keep up with what everyone is saying. You're more than certain you'd need a PhD is Biology and Phycology and every other possible course known to man just to get the vaguest idea of the nonsense they were spilling our their mouths.
"What will then?" You ask Fenina as you regain your process of thoughts.
"Here," Touka gives a small, folded parcel to Kaneki, "You'll need to eat this."
"What is it?" Kaneki says, analysing the package.
"Flesh."
"What?! No! I won't eat that!" Kaneki shouts, dropping the package back on the table. You almost shout with him but your conscience tells you not to incase someone outside the café bursts through the door and gets all four of you done for trading 'illegal' products. Is flesh illegal?
"You need to," Touka says as she flicks her wrist so she's pointing at Kaneki's face, "look, you're turning into a ghoul!"
"No!" Kaneki says, taking a deep breath and covering his face. His face crunches up and you can immediately tell that his eye is turning red.
"Kaneki, I can't stand seeing you like this!" you tell him, putting a caring hand on his shoulder, "Please." You know polite manners isn't going to change his mind but you try it anyway. Maybe he'll change...
Nah.
