"Kaneki!" shouted a voice. Kaneki Ken was a small, black haired boy. He was about to turn around but someone collided with him. He felt himself being roughly turned around. Surely enough he saw his best friend, Hide Nagachika. Hide was a bubbly little boy with orange hair and brown eyes. "Man, where were you!?" He asked.
"I-I I was reading a book by the-"
"You're always reading." Hide interrupted.
"I'm sorry." Kaneki mumbled.
"That's ok" Hide said a bit too loudly. The two boys lived in Shiganshina District in the year 845. "Hey let's go see the wall." Hide declared. At that the two friends ran to the outside of Wall Maria. "The walls are huge!" Hide exclaimed emphasizing huge. "They are 50 meters tall." Kaneki informed him. After that they sat there and talked. Hide did most of the talking. He talked about titans, walls, ghouls, and the Survey Corps. Kaneki noticed that it was getting slightly darker. "I think we should be getting back." Hide looked confused for a moment looked at the sky then with a smile said, "Oh, ok!"
The two friends walked slowly. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion and lightning. Hide and Kaneki tumbled to the ground. Then they saw it. A immense hand clutching the wall. A head then came seemingly from nowhere. Kaneki and Hide were too shocked to do anything. Then a massive foot kicked the gate.
To Kaneki everything was a blur. It was like his body couldn't function. All he could do was stare. Luckily, Hide reacted quickly. He dragged Kaneki to the gates toward the inside of Wall Maria. Kaneki looked around him. Everywhere he saw he saw blood and people getting eaten in the most gruesome ways possible. Kaneki looked to Hide for some comfort but he was looking straight ahead.
After a sprint that seemed like an eternity they got to the gates. It was a miracle that they got a spot on the boat. Kaneki and Hide's attention were diverted to a boy. He was rambling about "Destroying every last one of those animals!" Finally, Kaneki snapped out of his trance like daze. "Hide, thank you, y-you saved my life." Kaneki started to sob. Hide hugged Kaneki and said "You're my best friend, why would I let you die?"
Kaneki didn't know what to say to this. He started sobbing. "Kaneki, please don't cry! Everything will be okay." Kaneki looked at Hide. He looked calm, collected, and worried at the same time. They stared at each other for a while.
Their "moment" was interrupted by huge thumps and screams of "CLOSE THE GATES". Kaneki and Hide looked up. Soldiers were flying through the air, and a titan crashed through the gates. At that Kaneki knew, he knew this was the end for humanity.
The boat started to move. Even calm Hide looked defeated. The last thing the two boys saw before the boat rowed them to the next wall was titans walking into Wall Maria.
