Chapter 4
Hannibal locked his office up and walked with Kaneki to his car. He was talking to someone on the phone in a very gentle voice.
Hannibal's voice was always gentle, but right now it was extra gentle, like he was talking to a lover.
Hannibal's call ended shortly after the two got in the car.
"Who was that?" Kaneki asked. He didn't want to pry, but he was generally curious but he wanted to know."
"His name is Will Graham."
"A ghoul?"
"No."
Kaneki was surprised by Dr. Lector's answer.
"Will is human."
Kaneki fidgeted with the strap of his eyepatch. "Are you uh… going to eat him?"
Hannibal smiled, amused. "I honestly believe Will would be the best thing I have ever eaten, but I would never consider eating him."
"Why?" Kaneki asked.
"Because he is my human. Mr. Yoshimura told me that you had a human yourself back home."
Kaneki nodded. "Hide."
"Would you ever consider eating Hide?"
"No!"
Hannibal smirked. They parked at Hannibal's house and walked inside. "Many ghouls have relationships with ghouls ranging from platonic to romantic."
"Where does your relationship fall?" Kaneki asked.
Hannibal opened his mouth to answer, but the doorbell rang. "That should be Will." He walked back to the door, leaving Kaneki alone in the living room.
He heard voices in the hall, they both sounded happy. Kaneki smiled and left the two alone to talk.
