Ok everyone, here I am again! I gotta say, I am really, really thankful towards all of you that reviewed/followed/favorited this story, I really appreciate all the support, in fact, that is exactly what got me writing the second chapter already! I also want to give a special shoutout to a certain author who goes by the name of Tsunami Arow! She has been helping me immensely with this story, and I help with her stories, I guess you could call it being two co-writers or something? Anyway, go check out her stories, they're awesome, easily just as awesome as mine! Probably better xD. Now, As you guys have probably realized, this story jumps into the canon storyline at the time Aogiri is first seen in the manga/anime, AKA, when they attack 11th Ward. Of course, Anteiku will be a part of this story, but since Kaneki isn't part of Anteiku in my story, the story will obviously take place from the viewpoint of Aogiri. Anyways, that was all stuff you guys probably already realized, but I just wanted to get that out there, just in case someone was wondering. Also, a fair warning, this chapter is very, VERY hardcore, I'm sure you guys can handle this, but I realized after I'd wrote this chapter, it contained LOADS of heavy stuff. Anyway, here comes the real deal!

CCG Base, 11th Ward
It was a windy night in Tokyo, clouds moving at breakneck speed in the skies, as if the weather had an inkling of the events to come this stormy night. The CCG base in the 11th Ward was still fully operational, as organized Ghoul movements in the 11th Ward had investigators working overtime, researching and planning. But no amount of planning could save them now, for another plan had already been set in motion, a plan that meant their demise. A few rooftops away from the CCG Base, a large number of figures stood tall, wearing strange mantles that swayed in the strong winds. The lead figure stood relatively tall, and the one next to him was quite petite in comparison. Then, the lead figure spoke, with an apathetic voice.
"Eto, are Noro and Tatara in position?" He asked his companion, who skipped towards the edge of the rooftop and leaned over it, seemingly unfazed by the height or possibility of falling. A particularly strong gust of wind almost sent her over the edge, but she simply leaned back for a moment. In the streets below, dozens of figures could be seen, wearing the same mantles, dashing through the streets, slaughtering all the humans in their way, heading towards the CCG Base. After Eto had peered over the edge, she looked back toward the man that had spoken earlier.
"Mmh, Kaneki-kun, they look ready." She said, running back to her previous position. Kaneki closed his eyes for a moment and exhaled, and when he opened them again, he turned around and nodded toward one of the hooded figures behind him.
"Ayato, give the signal." He spoke, the Ghoul, now identified as Ayato, unleashed his dual-wing Ukaku Kagune, which he immediately hardened, and sent a hail of spikes into the night sky, which glinted in the light of the sprawling metropolis below. As the spikes flew through the sky, the army gathered below charged toward the stalwart building, home of the CCG's base of operations in the 11th Ward. A few groups began scaling the walls with the help of their various Kagune, whilst others simply burst through the main entrance. Kaneki looked at the spectacle below for a few seconds, before turning to the group under his command.
"Alright, let's go." He said, as soon as Kaneki spoke, he broke into a sprint towards the edge of the building, and when he reached it, gracefully jumped toward the next, using his enhanced physical capabilities as a Ghoul. His group followed suit, Eto was the second to reach the next skyscraper, followed by the rest. They kept jumping from rooftop to rooftop until they reached the roof of the CCG Base, where Kaneki stopped abruptly. Though, he wasted no time in releasing four Rinkaku tentacles, and bringing them together in a mace-like shape, which he then smashed on the floor, which collapsed under the sheer force of Kaneki's Kagune strike, opening up an entrance to the base from the rooftop. Everyone swiftly jumped into the newly created entrance and disappeared from sight, since there was but one objective on this mission, to kill every last human present in the CCG Base. Kaneki dropped down last, Eto however, stayed on the roof.
"Eto, you know what you have to do, anything that wasn't planned, you can take care of it." Kaneki spoke to her, she simply hummed in agreement and sat down on the edge of the rooftop, legs dangling over the edge. Kaneki had thought about Eto's position in this mission, and eventually came to the conclusion her strength wouldn't be needed, hell, even Kaneki knew he didn't have to fight, the investigators present in this building didn't stand a chance before he entered the building, but Kaneki just wanted to see his enemies bleed and scream, especially anyone related to the CCG. As Kaneki was walking through the halls, the once pristine white walls covered in blood, he heard sounds of faraway slaughter that brought a soft smile to his face. As he rounded a corner, he saw Noro fighting a couple of investigators, his dual tentacle Kagune with jagged teeth-like objects at the edge making quick work of the valiantly defending humans. Due to the surprise attack Aogiri was able to pull off, many investigators were unable to get their quinque from the storage units in time. As such, almost all of the investigators had to make do with simple handguns or assault rifles, loaded with Q bullets, specially designed bullets that work against Ghouls. But, Noro seemed completely unfazed by the hail of bullets the investigators sent his way, and swiftly dismembered two of them, blood and body parts flying through the air, staining the walls and ground. The eyes of the investigators widened in fear as they saw two of their comrades fall so easily and brutally to this Ghoul, and hastily retreated back through the hallway.
They didn't come very far though, as soon as they were halfway, the Bin Brothers rounded the corner and dashed towards them, decapitating them with one strike of their Bikaku Kagune, leaving another long trail of blood on the walls. Kaneki walked past Noro and the Bin Brothers calmly, humming to himself in satisfaction, the three Ghouls were gone almost immediately, out to find more investigators to kill. Kaneki found the stairwell and started his descent, with a very clear goal in mind, find the basement and collect the data. As he reached the next floor down, Kaneki heard loud shouts coming from behind a door in the corridor to his left, he strode towards the door and kicked it open, revealing what seemed to be the command center of the base. All the heads snapped toward the newcomer who had smashed his way through the reinforced door, and upon seeing the mantle decorated figure, all the investigators present grabbed their handguns. The branch leader before a large screen showing security footage from all over the building, at the opposite end of the room from Kaneki. After a moment of absolute silence, all hell broke loose.
"FIRE YOU IDIOTS!" The branch leader yelled at the collection of officers, who all started firing their guns like madmen in the direction of Kaneki, blowing up dust and debris. As soon as the dust settled, the first thing that they realized was that Kaneki was no longer standing there, a choked gasp from the opposite end of the room drew their attention, and, as one, they turned their heads towards their commanding officer, whose chest was suddenly impaled by a Rinkaku tentacle, and was quickly impaled for a second time when another Rinkaku tentacle sprouted from his abdomen. All investigators present watched in horror as the branch leader's body was violently forced apart into two separate pieces, accompanied by bone chilling screams of agony. Blood and entrails fell to the floor, the top half of the body being thrown across the room, hitting the far wall, and the bottom half falling limp into a puddle of blood and guts, revealing the form of Kaneki standing behind the former branch leader. He grinned at the officers, who were all paralyzed with fear.
"Isn't this fun?" He said, chuckling darkly. Everyone in the room ran to the door, trying desperately to escape the Ghoul's wrath, but Kaneki was one step ahead of them, already standing at the door and throwing it shut.
"No no, you're not getting away, we're going to have a little bit of fun first." He said, discarding the mask that all Aogiri members wore, and revealed ghostly white hair, and a leather half-mask, adorned with a lipless, maniacal grin, a bolted neck and an eyepatch. The investigators realized there was no way out, so they grabbed their pistols, ready to fight to their last breath, not that they stood a chance anyway.
CCG Headquarters, 1st Ward
The Headquarters of the CCG was situated in a monumental building in the center of the 1st Ward, it was home to all of the Special Class investigators who had no active mission, and of course the Chairman of the CCG, the de facto leader of the anti-ghoul organization. It was late at night, but the majority of the lights were still burning brightly in the windows of the CCG Headquarters, specifically, the mission control room. The reason for this was the fact that, earlier in the night, Headquarters received a distress call from the 11th Ward branch, reporting a Ghoul attack. Since then, there had been little to no news concerning the assault, scattered reports of casualties and resistance rang out here and there, but absolutely nothing was confirmed. Marude, the current commanding officer, was having a hard time grasping the situation, after all, Ghouls had never attacked the CCG this upfront, and from what little information was available, Marude drew the conclusion that the Ghouls were well organized, which in turn suggested that a Ghoul organization had been formed in the shadows, without the CCG catching wind of it. This particularly infuriated Marude, so much even that he slammed his fist onto the table in front of him, making the wood creak in protest. He quickly rose and started to pace fervently between the nervous officers.
"Someone tell me what's goddamn happening out there!" He yelled at the collective group of investigators, who of course had no news to report. However, one of them suddenly spoke up.
"Marude-san, I have visual on the 11th Ward mission control-" The officer started, he never finished his sentence because his jaw went slack and his eyes wide with horror as the imagery of the 11th Ward mission control room became visible. Marude and a few investigators seated nearby rushed toward the screen, and underwent the same reaction as the first investigator to see the footage. As soon as Marude had rushed over and viewed the live footage, he paled. For the mission control room could hardly be recognized with all the blood, limbs and body parts strewn around. Heads were smashed into the wall, bodies ripped to shreds, intestines hanging around like the world's most disturbing party decorations. The table that used to seat the branch leader seemed to have been used as a dissection table, with several broken, torn and bloody corpses littering it, arms and legs snapped clean off, intestines ripped out and thrown around like confetti. Marude and the others quickly averted their gazes, bile rising in their throats.
"What the fuck happened there? The ghouls did this? This is beyond anything I've ever seen, it's as if Jason had an even more demonic brother who decided to drop by. Damnit, I can't even look at it! How are we gonna recover the bodies? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Marude thought, furious at the brutality of the sins commited in that room. He started pacing again, leaving the other officers to stare at the footage, some of them actually vomiting. Shortly after, another voice called out to Marude.
"Marude-san! I have contact with a member of the 11th Ward Branch!" The woman said, holding up a phone, which Marude snatched up with great haste.
"This is commanding officer Marude! What's the status?!" Marude all but yelled into the phone, a voice full of panic and despair answered his questions.
"Th-They came out of nowhere! We were attacked by a group of ghouls we believe to be Aogiri, W-We never stood a chance, they're slaughtering us all! We need reinforcements now! We're being overru- AAAAARRRGGGHHH!" The voice of the panicked investigator was suddenly cut off by a loud, pain filled scream, and a dull thud indicated the phone had fallen to the floor. Shortly thereafter, it was picked up again, and a new voice spoke through the connection.
"That was the last one." The mysterious voice, obviously a Ghoul, spoke. Everyone present in the room gasped loudly at the declaration, not willing to believe an entire branch of the CCG had been wiped out so easily. Marude's hand clenched around the phone and his jaw tightened.
"Oi, who the fuck are you?!" Marude spat with venom, the Ghoul on the other side of the connection merely chuckled and killed the line, leaving Marude with a dead connection and distressed thoughts, and of course a whole room full of shell-shocked CCG investigators.
CCG Base, 11th Ward
Kaneki hummed to himself as he descended further down the stairwell, with the same goal in mind as before, having just returned from the little detour into mission control. At the thought of that, Kaneki smiled slightly.
"That was… Fun, exhilarating even. I haven't had that much fun since I ran into that investigator squadron in the 20th Ward. Fuck, I'd almost forgotten how great it was." Kaneki mused to himself. Eventually, he was forcefully pulled from his thoughts when he realized he was at the bottom of the stairwell, he looked around and quickly found what he was looking for, a steel-plated door, indicating the entrance to the interrogation chamber, and, more importantly, the database. Before he could kick the door open, though, a slender hand slipped into his, freezing his movements completely, before he slowly turned around to see a smiling Eto, holding his hand with her unbandaged one, her slender digits comfortably warm in his own. Kaneki briefly wondered why exactly Eto had left her post.
"Well, we did a clear sweep, most, if not all of the investigators should be dead, and reinforcements aren't likely to arrive anymore, I guess it's logical." He mused to himself. Then, with a jolt, he realized exactly why she was here.
"Hmph, the 'interrogation' room is down there too then? Fucking bastards, I'll make them fucking PAY, FOR EVERY FUCKING FINGER THEY TOOK AND EVERY BONE THEY SNAPPED! I'LL RIP THEIR ORGANS OUT OF THEIR LIVING BODIES! FUCK!" Kaneki felt the rage sweep over him like a blood covered cloud, blurring his vision, his blood thumped in his ears and his sense of touch became distorted. He grit his teeth and tried to get ahold of himself, Eto noticed this, however, she chose to remain silent.
"So, this is really the place then?" She wondered, seeing Kaneki's strong reaction. She started walking toward the door, still holding Kaneki's hand. This successfully pulled Kaneki out of his haze, and he slowly followed suit. When they got to the door, Kaneki growled and kicked open the door with much more force than necessary, sending the heavy steel-plated door flying down the stairs behind it. It clattered to the floor with a loud series of noises that assaulted Kaneki's and Eto's ears. Kaneki started walking down the stairs with barely controlled steps. Eventually, the corridor at the bottom of the stairwell was revealed, making for quite a grim sight. It looked like an old fashioned prison, barred cage-like rooms with nothing in them flanking the narrow passage. The smell of blood, dried and fresh, invaded their noses and the slow dripping sound of fresh blood echoed through the hallway. Bloody handprints were seen on the walls and metal bars, where the captive Ghouls most likely rattled the bars in a feeble attempt to escape their cruel tormentors. With each step the duo set through the narrow passage, more memories flashed before Kaneki's eyes, stabbing into his traumatized brain.
Kaneki knew he was fucked, he had been promised that if he didn't give information on a certain Ghoul, his torture would become worse than the torture he currently received. The problem was, Kaneki knew nothing of the Ghoul in question, not that the investigators cared, they probably enjoyed making him scream and beg for death. Kaneki cursed himself for the thousandth time in the two months he had been stuck in this cell, wishing he could just rip his heart out and escape this living hell, he'd take death over what awaited him without hesitation.
If only he hadn't been so careless, if only he had paid attention to his surroundings whilst eating, this never would have happened. Kaneki was no stranger to torture, he had been in the hands of sadistic, horrific people for what seemed to be the major part of his life, the thought of his past torture thrust traumatizing images up from the depths of the darkest corner of his brain. He violently shook his head to get rid of the reminders of his time in the hands of a the disgusting Ghoul known as Big Madam. Though she had extensively tortured him, Kaneki wasn't helpless, he could lessen the torture if he just did as he was told. Though, the side-effect was that Kaneki lost sight of the value of a life long ago. But, at least he was not completely helpless, as he was now, for there was no way out for him now, the investigators didn't care he knew nothing. Truth be told, Kaneki was terrified of the time to come, his torturer had promised to up the pain, something Kaneki could barely imagine, his sanity was already slipping away after these two months alone.
"It can't get any worse? Right? RIGHT? They wouldn't do that to me right?" He asked himself, Kaneki had a small shred of hope that the torturers weren't so inhumane to torture someone who was barely fifteen that horrifically, though, as soon as the thought struck him, he realized how stupid it was. The scary thing was that the investigators simply didn't care.
"Ahahaha, why would they be nice? I haven't been nice, have I?" He spoke, giggling softly to himself.
"No Kaneki, you're right, you haven't been nice at all, maybe you are being punished for what you did?" Since he had nobody to talk to, he decided to talk with himself, atleast that way, he reasoned, he wouldn't go mad, though, Kaneki failed to realize sanity had slipped through his fingers already. His breathing was ragged as he lay on the blood-covered floor of his cell, the perpetual scent of blood stung his nostrils, blood dripped from the bars and even ceiling, splashing into small puddles on the cold, hard floor Kaneki currently lay on and the sound of rattling bars and pain-filled screams sounded far away, even though it was happening fairly close. Kaneki had long ago learned to shut himself in his own mind, ignoring the smells, sights and sounds of the horror known as the interrogation chamber.
Suddenly, the door to his cell was violently swung open. Forcefully pulling Kaneki out of the personal space he locked himself up in. And in walked the figure Kaneki learned to fear most of all, the form of the interrogator, smiling a deranged smile that belonged on the face of a true sadist.
"...Neki?" A soft voice brought him back to reality, slowly, the screams inside his mind faded away, for now at least, and he regained control over his own body. He realized he was shaking and cold sweat glistened on his face. He took a shuttered breath and slowly looked to the small figure walking beside him, still holding his cold hand. Eto was looking worried, which warmed Kaneki's frozen heart slightly.
"I'll be alright now, I think." Kaneki said, he knew better than to try and sugar coat things, Eto and he had both seen too much to be optimistic. They started walking through the moist corridor with lights flickering ominously above their heads. They eventually reached the end of the hallway, and walked into a new room.
The room was rather simple in it's design, it was divided into two sections, with a thick wall of bulletproof glass to separate the different areas. To Kaneki's and Eto's immediate right was said wall, on the other side of the glass they could see the database of the CCG, rows and rows of hardware stretched to the far wall, flanked by desks with computers placed upon them. The walls were pristine white, along with the ceiling and floor. Lights, blinking and not, could be seen all over the storage hardware, Kaneki briefly wondered what Aogiri could do with so much information, but quickly dismissed the thought. He came here for some very specific information, he didn't need CCG's information about different Ghouls. After Kaneki was brought out of his train of thought, his eyes switched to the other section of the room, the section they currently stood in, which made for a darker sight.
Though the walls seemed to have once been the same pristine white color as those at the other side of the glass, the white color had long since been buried under a layer of splattered blood which had dried whilst dripping to the floor. The floor was one amalgamation of blood stains, whose once red color had long since turned brownish red. Though, dried blood was the least of the sickening sights this particular room had to offer. As soon as the CCG learned that the facility was under attack, they rounded up the Ghouls here, and brutally murdered every single one of them. They were smarter than to give Aogiri new members to recruit.
And so bodies lay scattered across the room, leaking rivers of blood which streamed toward the drains built into the floor. The Ghouls were not granted an easy death either, someone had clearly put some work into executing them, Kaneki spotted the body of a Ghoul whose head was cut off, but not cleanly at all, it was likely done slowly. Another was cut in two, and swung over a lamp on the ceiling by his intestines. A particularly unlucky female Ghoul had her arms and legs severed. The heavy smell of blood and death flooded Kaneki's nostrils, assaulting his brain and leaving him unable to smell anything else. The smell was so strong Kaneki could almost taste it. At the sight of the torture room he felt Eto's hands tighten around his own. The steady sound of blood trickling through the drainage system echoed through the eerily silent room. Kaneki could hear his own breathing, which slowly grew ragged as he looked at an object in the center of the room. Several body parts and guts lay neatly on a singular table in the middle of the room, the table itself was rather large, large enough to be able to someone to lie on the surface with spread arms and legs, which is exactly what the table was for. As soon as Kaneki got a glimpse of the interrogation table, with body parts and guts laid out neatly, another wave of memories smashed into his consciousness.
"Oh Kaneki, when will you finally learn? 'Please stop! Stop! Please!' isn't an answer to the questions, just like 'Kill me! PLEASE!' or screaming your head off won't help me any." The interrogator said, voice full of sick, twisted glee. He briefly stepped away from the table to retrieve a different instrument of pain, giving Kaneki a few seconds to breathe. The last few months, Kaneki's torture had increased to the point where he wasn't even brought back to his cell anymore, he just lay here, chained down and impaled the entire night, being force-fed once a month if he was lucky, once every two months if he was unlucky. He didn't even have a sense of time anymore, everything was tinted crimson, Kaneki had seen so much of his blood these last months, normal colors became distorted, everything seemed black and gray, stained with crimson, even the brightest blue and the richest purple became gray, Due to sleep deprivation, Kaneki constantly saw illusions of blood trickling down from the walls, or was it real? Truthfully, Kaneki was no longer able to distinguish reality from illusions. Suddenly a shift in the light that fell into Kaneki's half opened eyes indicated that his torturer was standing at the table again, ready to continue.
"Now, you're probably wondering, 'He didn't even ask me a question?'. Well, you're right, but I wanted to have some fun first thing in the morning, before working hours begin and everything gets serious." The man spoke.
"It's… Morning?" Kaneki thought to himself, his brain barely registering the man's words. His train of thought was brutally derailed as he was suddenly violently impaled through his chest without any warning. He gasped and tried to thrash around, but the chains that kept him firmly down dug into his skin, reopening wounds that had formed from the shackles digging into his skin for months, leaving scars that would haunt Kaneki for the rest of his life. Then, the object that had firmly impaled him in the chest started twisting, sending liquid fire through Kaneki's heavily damaged nerve system. Then, the twisting suddenly stopped, leaving Kaneki panting. Then, without much delay Kaneki suddenly felt something cold brush his left foot, very slowly, Kaneki's barely functioning mind realized what this meant, and the full force of the realization suddenly hit Kaneki, leaving him breathless.
"Nononono, please not, please not! NO PLEASE!" Kaneki screamed to himself, he tried to scream it out loud too, but was unable to produce more than a rasping gurgle, due to his throat being filled with blood. He violently thrashed about, trying desperately to escape his iron bonds, as he felt his toes being torn of slowly, one by one. And thus, the beginning of a new day was marked by screams of pain.
"Kaneki! Wake up!" A female voice cried out to him urgently, bringing Kaneki back to reality for the second time that day, probably saving him from a complete breakdown. Kaneki forced his ragged breaths to return to normal and grit his teeth. Eto's hand shook his own gently, drawing Kaneki's attention to her.
"Are you alright?" She asked. Kaneki exhaled loudly.
"No." He answered truthfully, there was no reason to lie to Eto. She understood perfectly well what was happening. Eto didn't answer, she merely gripped his hand, letting him know she was there, which was enough for Kaneki, he averted his eyes from the interrogation room, and focused on the other side of the bulletproof glass wall, the database. He walked towards the door separating the interrogation room from the database and released a Rinkaku tentacle to smash the door across the room, torn clean out of it's hinges. He strolled toward the nearest desk, and kicked the chair across the room, crashing against the wall. With his free hand, Kaneki quickly filed through the computer, looking for something very specific. Eventually he found a document named 'Kanou Akihiro' and smirked.
"I guess the CCG would keep tabs on one of their surgeons gone rogue, let's see if they know anything we don't" Kaneki mused to himself, he quickly opened the document and scanned it's contents. After a little while of finding nothing new, Kaneki discovered a list of properties that were owned by Kanou, along with a few properties that were maybe bought by Kanou under false names. Kaneki grabbed a paper and a pen and quickly wrote down the addresses of the properties and exited the document. He folded the paper and put it in his pocket. Eto saw Kaneki's grin and grinned too.
"You found something fun?" She asked him, he merely chuckled.
"Yes, more than fun." He answered, as the duo began their walk back to the roof of the building, where the entire infiltration force was to make their escape, avoiding the streets. As they walked through the hallway leading to the rooftop, Kaneki's enhanced Ghoul hearing picked up the sounds of a panicked voice in the maintenance room down a corridor to their left. Eto heard it too, as evidenced by her looking down the corridor. She and Kaneki briefly made eye contact, before he grinned sadistically.
"I'll take him, you go on ahead." He said, Eto nodded and skipped towards the door leading to the roof. Meanwhile, Kaneki casually strolled down the hallway, taking his time, it seemed like the survivor was calling Headquarters, and Kaneki figured he'd let the investigators know that their end was nearing, Aogiri had stepped out of the shadows and into the light.
"...need reinforcements now! We're being overru- AAAAARRRGGGHHH!" was as far as the unfortunate investigator came before he was impaled by a single Rinaku tentacle, courtesy of Kaneki. The pain filled scream of the investigator brought a smile to Kaneki's face.
"You don't know anything about pain, fucking piece of shit. This is nothing!" Kaneki though to himself, snarling at the dead investigator. He threw the body against a wall, smearing blood all over it, letting it slowly drip to the floor, before he picked up the phone the investigator had dropped. Kaneki grinned madly, and decided to make the declaration.
"That was the last one." He said simply, he could almost feel the shock on the other side of the line, and heard the grip on the phone being tightened.
"Oi, who the fuck are you?" A man's voice snarled, Kaneki chuckled at the man's anger, before he threw the phone up into the air and crushed it against the wall with his Kagune. He casually walked back to where the rooftop entrance was, and opened it, revealing dozens of Ghouls waiting, and Eto sitting on the edge of the building legs swinging into the abyss. At the sight of their leader, all Ghouls present straightened and stood ready for the next command. Kaneki walked toward the edge of the building standing next to Eto, who stopped swinging her legs and looked at Kaneki. He tensed his legs.
"Move out." He said simply, releasing the energy stored in his leg muscles, propelling him across the gap between the CCG base and the next building. As the Ghouls of Aogiri Tree retreated back to their base under the cover of night, the CCG learned what it was like to be hunted, to be made to fear death, for the first time in history.
Ok guys, that was Chapter 2! Review and tell me what you though of it, it was a pretty hard chapter to write, and I hope I did well, I don't know though, that's up to you guys to say, so review and give me your opinion, ask something or do anything at all! Anyway, as I said before, this chapter was pretty dark, but hey, I know you guys can handle that, I hope :P. In any case, The Kaneki/Eto pairing has started this chapter, the foundations are being laid out, so don't worry! I plan on giving bits and pieces of Kaneki's backstory (which I have been thinking on for a little while now) in the form of flashbacks and such. Well, that's all for now guys, see you next chapter!
