Tick tock, tick tick as the waves of the past catch up to me I struggle to breath. I took a deep breath in as I felt the scratching in my brain! I screamed,waking up I still wonder why I had to change. But now I realize it was the only way to protect the ones I care about. "Knock, knock" I reached to answer the door, my hands twitching.

"Kaneki, are you okay?" Asked Hinami "I'm fine, just thinking about everything that happened." I said hoping to hide the pain. "It's ok Kaneki it's obvious you are in pain I just hope you can understand that touka misses you, although she doesn't show it" Hinami said sounding concerned, I walked out the door refusing to answer, my eyes widened looking at the tv as the alert flashed across the screen.
