Prologue | I'm Sorry
Kaneki remembered everything about Hide.
He remembered his fluffy blonde hair.
He remembered his joyful dark eyes.
He remembered how he smiled about the most simplest things.
He remembered how he never gave up.
He remembered those three heartbreaking words.
"Let's go home."
Kaneki let out a painful cry as the sword stabbed through his abdomen. "I'll ask again. What do you know about Ghouls?" Akira asked. Kaneki kept silent as the sword went deeper into him. Hide was in the corner being pulled back by two CCG members as he tried to lash out at everyone who was causing trouble for his beloved Kaneki. "Kaneki, say something... I don't want you to get hurt..." Hide mumbled, tears falling down his cheeks.
One CCG member covered Hide's mouth as he struggled even more. An arm was free from their grasp as Hide elbowed them. "Damn, this guy's stronger than I thought..." Kaneki glanced at Hide and gave him a smile that was painful to look at. "I'm never going to tell you," Kaneki said sharply. "If you don't tell us anything about Ghouls or about yourself, we're going to have to kill Nagachika," Akira said, Kaneki widening his eyes then nodding slowly.
"I was a human before Rize almost killed me. Her organs got transplanted into me and I started to panic. I thought that if I was a Ghoul, I wouldn't be able to see Hide's beautiful smile anymore..." he paused as a tear fell down his cheek. "You don't know how painful it is for people wanting to kill the person you love the most... I may not be human, but he is," All the CCG members listened to him. "I started to work at Anteiku and failed to save people dear to me. It's all my fault for getting everyone into this mess." He told everything. How he got tortured and accepted his Ghoul side. How Anteiku got burnt. How he thought he was still human.
Even Hide was shocked. In reality, Kaneki would still be human if he just confessed to him earlier. If he hadn't forced Kaneki to go on a date with Rize. "It's all your fault, Hideyoshi. Every single part of it." A voice said in his head. It sounded so much like Touka. But the CCG still had to exterminate him. Akira walked to him, aiming the sword at his heart. Kaneki got up as the handcuffs cracked and broke. His kagune appeared out of his back and he pierced it through the CCG members in the room. Slowly walking to Hide, he pulled him into a gentle hug. Hide swore he heard sobbing from Kaneki, hard and painful sobbing. "Hide, I... I'm sorry..."
"It's okay Kaneki. I'm really sorry too," They shared a gentle but passionate kiss.
