"You are one lucky bastard, you know that?" Hide said to Kaneki over the phone, while chowing on a hamburger. On the other end, Kaneki was also eating a hamburger.
"No joke, who would've guessed she liked the same author I did?!"
"What's her name again, Sen Takasaki?"
"Sen Takatsuki! And get this, we made plans to go to the bookstore on Friday!"
"Really?!" Hide sounded disappointed in Kaneki, "That sounds about as fun as watching paint dry! But, you kids have fun."
"Okay, thanks man!"
Right near Hide, another "ghoul crime"—a "Binge Eater"—was being investigated by two young CCG investigators, who were commenting the scene.
"I have to say, it's getting real ugly here."
"Yeah that's true."
"Here's the part I don't get—eating one person is supposed to last'em a month, right? So what's the deal with these binge eaters?"
"That's why we have to treat them as equals. If we were to treat them like the animals they are, they would kill all of us."
(The victims of the Binge predation followed a pattern—male, usually 19 to 20 years of age, found ripped apart.)
"If only they could make themselves useful, and go after the bad guys."
"Ain't that the truth."
A mysterious, shadowed figure was also at the scene, on the rooftop of the building the two investigators were near. The person was so well concealed that he was unnoticeable to anyone and anything. He/She silently observed the investigators and the scene from the distance without any interference. The figure squinted, apparently intrigued by the grisly scene.
As soon as the mysterious entity appeared, he/she disappeared without a trace, and without making a sound. As if they never existed.
I know what you're thinking—Who is the mystery character, and what impact will he/she have on the story?
Stay tuned for the next chapter to find out.
Yes this chapter is short—I wanted to make the actual date a separate chapter.
Plus, you might already know what happened anyways, if you've watched "Tokyo Ghoul".
