Kaneki's POV

Work was hell, customers were grouchy and pissed since we worked a bit slow, especially me. My injuries were healing a bit slowly, I didn't even know I had them. One was a deep gash up my left arm, ranging from wrist to elbow. Another was just on my shoulder on the right side, resting between the crook of my neck and the blade. I sighed when they both hurt and Touka snapped at me numerous times to work faster. Kaya gave me apology looks like she was sorry for me and Enji smiled softly as Yoshimura glanced at me before getting back to making coffee.

"Why don't you take a break and go for a walk?" I jumped and almost dropped numerous cups when Yoshimura tapped my shoulder and I nodded slightly as I took off the apron and set it aside and he handed me a small throw away coffee cup and I looked at him.

"Go now," he shooed me out gently and I sipped the coffee and relaxed a bit as I walked out into the crisp cold air. I practically chugged the coffee due to the special sugar cubes he used which was probably human. I shuddered a bit and threw away the cup, zipped up my jacket, and stuck my hands in my pockets to keep them warm. The eye patch laid across my eye like usual and I blew a strand of black hair from my eyes as I looked at the busy crowds on the other side of the street. Cars zoomed past and people walked and talked on their cellphones, defiantly not paying attention to alleyways but it was daylight. Ghouls didn't necessarily attack people in the morning because to many witnesses and most likely a CCG officer. A CCG officers job was to kill us ghouls, they used our Kagune's to make their Quinque's, well that's what everyone told me. I sighed, my breathe in the air was like a puff of smoke due to the cold weather. I heard angry grumbles and I took my hands out of my pockets and ran into the store. I shuffled down the aisle and looked around as I grabbed an ice coffee, I glanced at all the foods and wished I could eat them again but they tasted horrible to me... And all ghouls of course... I walked out and popped off the cap of my coffee and chugged half as I coughed when something hit my leg. I looked at Hinami as she was crying.

"Kaneki please help! Its my mom!" She sobbed and I listened to glass shatter as I dropped the coffee and ran after her, also shoving past people. I panted slightly as I looked down the alleyway and stared at the Kagune which was spread out, two CCG officers, one old and one young faced her.

"Mom!" Hinami cried and I wrapped my hand around her eyes which silence her and my eyes widened in horror when the Quinque went across her neck and severed her head. I went around the corner and stared down in horror as my hand gradually grew wetter when she cried harder and my eyes stayed widened as rain slowly began to fall. I let her mother die...
