Chapter 1: Solitude
A girl sat at a small table in Anteiku, idly reading a book titled, The Black Goat's Egg. She wore a thick, loose-fitting blue sweater over a light blue dress shirt, adorning her legs were baggy, gray pants and on her feet were brown flats. Setting the book down, she silently picked up her cup of coffee and took a small sip. The scalding hot liquid quickly made its way down her throat, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. Just the way she liked it. Her name is Kaneki Kenna, a student at Kamii University majoring in Literature.
The Lit. student picked her book back up, slowly scanning the text to find where she left off. She felt a pair of eyes burning a hole into the back of her head and casually looked around. Gray met brown and the quiet girl felt a sudden pang of déjà vu.
The brown orbs, despite being caught, didn't look away and Kaneki felt herself start to blush under the intense stare. She was able to keep a blank face, however, and went back to reading.
It's him again, she thought. He's been staring a lot more lately.
Nagachika Hideyoshi. Her classmate from Kamii. She's known him since elementary, but they never really talked.
She quickly glanced back at the dirty-blonde and saw him look at a particular waitress with a strange adoration. Kaneki knew the girl: Kirishima Touka. A brash waitress who made a mean cup of coffee. In a way, Kaneki could understand his infatuation. Kirishima-San was definitely pretty with her intense, yet soft purplish-blue eyes and long lashes. Then there was her cute bob-styled hair with bangs covering the right half of her face—therefore giving her a mysteriously beautiful look.
Kaneki watched with distant interest as Nagachika loudly called the waitress over, asking her for her name while not-so-subtly hiding his crush.
Kaneki shook her head at the pathetic attempt.
The waitress seemed to have the same line of thought, as she quickly told him her name before walking (running) away. Nagachika, despite being blatantly rejected, sparkled and looked dazedly in Kirishima's direction.
Kaneki snickered softly, finding the boy's actions to be cute, if not a bit childish. He saw her laughing and gently smiled. Her eyes widened in surprise and she looked away, desperately holding down a blush. Nagachika stood up slowly and walked to the café's exit, saying a quick goodbye to Kirishima. He opened the door and paused to glance at Kaneki. She looked back at him and gave a reluctant wave to which he returned. Finally, he left and she sighed out of relief. How awkward.
The purple haired woman walked into the cafe, all eyes turning towards her. She basked in the attention and gave a smile to all her admirers. Flipping her purple hair onto her shoulder, she sat down to order. This was her favorite spot and the humans who came in here were almost always delicious. She opened her book, The Black Goat's Egg, smiled to herself, and glanced around the room to look for her next prey. Her eyes fell on a boy, about her age, with blonde hair and a bright smile. He smelled absolutely delectable, however, his eyes weren't on her like most other men in the café. Instead, they were on a raven-haired girl dwarfed in clothing too big for her. He exchanged a brief goodbye with the small girl then left. Pity.
Since her first target was gone, the young woman was forced to settle her attention—as well as her appetite—on the raven girl he was looking at. The woman shook her head. Such poor fashion sense for such a pretty girl. What a shame.
The woman watched as the black-haired girl sat there, reading a book while looking quite at home. She was unaware of the stare being given to her as her attention was drawn to the item in her hands.
The purple-haired woman looked closer at the book and was surprised to see it was Takatsuki Sen's. She gave a feral grin. Gender be damned, that girl was going to be her next meal.
Feeling another pair of eyes on her, Kaneki looked up just in time to see a strange purple-haired woman looking at her as if she were prey. The woman was, needless to say, beautiful. Her long purple hair was loosely tied into a low ponytail with white cloth. Her dark purple eyes were framed by a pair of red glasses and she wore a tight-fitting dress, showing off her hourglass figure. The woman smiled as Kaneki blankly stared at her. The girl knew the smile was meant to be friendly and disarming, but all she felt was terror.
She quickly looked back down at her book as the woman got up and started walking, presumably to the exit. While walking, the woman accidentally bumped into Kaneki's table, startling the raven into dropping her book. As Kaneki reached down to get the precious item, she was surprised to see two—not one—copies of The Black Goat's Egg.
"I see you like Takatsuki Sen's work as well?" A smooth voice acknowledged. Kaneki looked up, straight into the eyes of her downfall.
The woman smiled. "My name is Kamishiro Rize."
Rize-san turned out to be a very nice woman, unlike Kaneki's prior assumptions. Truth be told, Kaneki felt a little ashamed at judging the woman so quickly. After all, never judge a book by its cover.
The two girls stayed in Anteiku for a while, chatting up a storm about Takatsuki Sen's work. It was nearly 11 o'clock when they were kicked out of the café since it was closing time.
"I hope to see you later Rize-san," Kaneki said, giving a tiny smile to her new, and her first, friend—if she could even call the woman that. Before Kaneki could leave, however, Rize called out to her.
"A-ah! Wait!" Rize quickly ran to the smaller girl's side. "Young girls shouldn't be walking home on their own, especially with all the ghoul attacks going around. Let me walk with you."
Kaneki gazed at Rize questioningly. The purple head was a bit too eager to walk with her. "It's okay, I always walk home alone. Besides, we're the same age." She gave a wry grin, "Anyway, I don't think any ghoul would be interested in someone as scrawny as me; with my dull black hair and lifeless gray eyes, even I wouldn't spare myself a second glance." Kaneki shrugged and started to walk away again.
"On the contrary, I think you're very beautiful," Rize assured, walking quickly to catch up with the raven. "Your hair is a lovely ebony and your eyes are a nice shade of mercury. In addition, your diminutive stature just makes seem very cute and shy." Rize smiled. "My house is in the same direction as yours anyway, might as well walk together."
Kaneki stopped abruptly and nodded, speechless. No one has ever called her anything close to cute before. Scrawny? Yes. Weird? Yes. Cute? Definitely not.
The pair continued their trek in silence and Kaneki's mind raced with something to keep the conversation going. She didn't want to lose her newfound friend so quickly.
The two walked through several streets, getting less and less populated for each one. Though, Kaneki was oblivious to all the red flags. Soon enough, they walked down a small alleyway onto a completely empty road by some railroad tracks.
Just as Kaneki opened her mouth to say something—anything—Rize began speaking.
"You know Kaneki-chan, when you said that no ghoul would ever be interested in you, I really wanted to argue with you." Rize paused at Kaneki's confused expression. "After all, you're so beautiful and smart…" Rize gave a shark-like smile, "Why not let me…have a taste?" With that, Rize grabbed Kaneki's hand, pulled her in…and stole one, huge chunk of her shoulder.
"Gaaaah!" The smaller girl gave a blood-curdling scream, but unfortunately, no one was around to hear it. Kaneki scrambled away from Rize, falling down in the process. She looked around and noticed that they were near a construction site, away from prying eyes.
Rize walked up to her victim and giggled, high off of bloodlust. "You know, Kaneki-chan~, I really do like you. You have just the right amount of fat, but not too much muscle; perfect for me to sink my teeth into your flesh!" Her kagune was now out, waving about wildly. "Ka~ne~ki~chan! Do you know there's one part of The Black Goat's Egg that never fails to make me shudder?" Rize's smile became contorted. "Where the Black Goat catches a man who's running away in bewilderment…and rips out a~ll his entrails."
The girl, who should've been scared out of her wits, took a deep breath. She shakily looked up at Rize and, instead of running around in every which direction like a headless chicken, stared at the ghoul, almost expectantly. Rize stopped mid-high. "What the hell are you looking at?" Rize frowned. "Why aren't you scared?!" She lunged at the defenseless girl, impaling her and smiled, expecting a look of despair to come onto Kaneki's face. However, all Kaneki did was stare blankly.
Rize backed up, "What the…What's wrong with you?!" She started screaming, her eyes wide with anger and frustration, "Cry! Scream! Run away! DO SOMETHING!"
Kaneki laughed bitterly. It was a humorless laugh, one that disclosed a person's outright disregard for living.
Kaneki coughed out blood and Rize paid rapt attention, curious as to why her prey was acting like such. "I've always been alone," Kaneki began, her voice was so weak that Rize had to strain her ears just to hear. "I've always been useless—a nuisance." Her voice grew stronger. "No one else cares about me so why should I?! If you're going to kill me then just do it!" Kaneki screamed, then began hacking up more blood.
Rize scowled. "You're disgusting. But at least there's one thing about your pathetic monologue that's true." Her scowl turned into a sharp grin. "You will always be a useless existence. Up to the very point I devour you. Do you know what I'm called?" Rize brought in Kaneki close to her face. "Binge eater. I eat purely for fun. Even now my stomach is full, it wouldn't matter whether or not I eat you; You're just a toy to pass the time."
Kaneki did her best not to feel hurt and—surprisingly enough—she didn't. Just empty.
Rize pointed all her Kagune at the prey in front of her and smiled once more. "Now then…please die."
And so, the hopeless girl closed her eyes in anxious anticipation. Fear bubbled in her chest and she wondered if she should have put up more of a struggle. Lives are precious after all. Then, an ominous creak sounded from above her head. She opened her eyes and looked up just in time to see steel beams fall straight on Rize.
In the distance as Kaneki fell unconscious, she swore that she saw a clown laughing as if it were all a cruel joke.
Perhaps it was.
Rushed voices spoke all around her. She looked around but realized her eyes were covered. She felt something warm on her back.
"Her abdomen… lost… intestines… shattered… her-!"
What is going on? Kaneki wondered blearily.
"And transplant her organs into…!"
Organ transplant? Why...where am I?
"Heart rate stabilized! The operation has been a success!"
There was a steady noise sounding around her, calming her. It was her heartbeat.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
She woke up, her eyes opened to reveal one gray eye...and one red.
When Hide heard that Kaneki was in the hospital, he didn't know what to think. He wanted to be sad, wanted to be mad at the one who put her in this situation, wanted to visit her all at once. But, he had trouble doing so. What if she rejected him? They're not friends, hell, she barely knows him. And if he were rejected, he wouldn't be able to handle it. For all his cheeriness and all of his jokes, he was really serious about this girl. Hide was supposed to help her, he was supposed to befriend her, but he never did. He let her suffer alone instead of doing something about it like he wanted to.
Simply put, Hide was a coward. Yeah, he talked big and made all these declarations of going to become her friend, but when it came to acting upon them, he froze. Even he is prone to the status quo and back then, having lots of friends and being super popular was what everyone wanted. The weird and creepy girl would damage that. So, the girl went her whole elementary, middle, and high school life friendless. Forever that girl. In a way, Hide was no better—worse than the other people, because he saw what she was going through and ignored it.
Now, the same thing was about to happen. Was it too late for him to come in, brandishing his sword and riding his horse?
Kaneki felt...normal. The more time passed, the more she felt as if the events with Rize were unreal. But, the scar on her abdomen was proof that they were indeed true.
The scar troubled her. What happens when you transplant a ghoul's organs into a human's body?
She didn't want to know and yet, in the very depths of her mind, she knew what she had become. She felt no feelings of hatred for the doctor that turned her into such, he didn't know that Rize was a ghoul. But still...there was that inkling of anger and frustration that she couldn't shake. It wasn't directed toward Kanou, the doctor, or at Rize or even herself. It was directed at her classmates because she just knew that they wouldn't care that she was a ghoul. They would probably sell her out if they ever found the truth.
Kaneki stared at the food in front of her. It looked good, really good. But when she took a bite...it tasted horrible. The nurse came in and looked at Kaneki's full plate with worry and disapproval.
"Is that all you're going to eat?"
Kaneki nodded, not trusting her voice.
The nurse took the plate of food away from her and, after a hesitant pause, asked, "Do you have anyone who would want to visit you?" The woman stopped, choosing her words carefully. "You seem awfully lonely."
Kaneki smiled, though it was clearly strained, as she weakly replied, "I'm not lonely, rather, I enjoy solitude."
The nurse decided to leave it at that. The patient clearly didn't want to talk.
More days passed with the unfortunate patient, Kaneki Kenna. The nurse talked to her other friends about the girl frequently.
"The poor thing is so...so lonely. No one ever visits her but she's so sweet." The nurse lamented.
The others let out murmurs of agreement.
"Don't worry Taguchi, I'm sure she'll be fine." Someone offered politely.
"No!" The nurse, Taguchi, shook her head. "It's just not right."
"Taguchi…" The other took on a patronizing tone to which Taguchi quickly stood up.
"I'm going to check on her again!"
"Ah—wait!"
Taguchi didn't care. She'll be there for the girl.
When the nurse arrived at Kaneki's room, she saw the girl reading—again. She looked at peace and completely sucked into the book. The book must have been at the climax, or at least an exciting part, for the nurse saw the girl's breath quicken and her eyes roved the page from left to right at a speed the nurse had only wished to achieve. As much as the woman loved seeing her patients happy, she knew that the excitement wasn't good for the girl at the moment. She took the book out of the patient's hands.
"W-wait!" Kaneki wrought a pathetic attempt at grabbing the book, however, the nurse was too tall. The patient scowled, or tried to. It came out more pouty than Kaneki would've cared for. Taguchi giggled.
"You're too cute Kaneki-chan. However, reading isn't good for you right now."
"But-!"
"The excitement wasn't good for your heart; you need to focus more on resting. Your eyes were damaged in the accident as well, so you need to make sure they heal up before you strain them more! Or else you may need glasses." Taguchi's hand was now resting firmly on her hip as she reprimanded the poor girl. She was in full mother-hen mode.
"I understand…" Kaneki mumbled, eyes downcast.
"Good!" Taguchi smiled to reassuringly. "You'll be fine in due time."
One might question why Taguchi was so kind to Kaneki. You could say that it was her job, or that she was just naturally kind. Maybe it was both. But mostly it was because she knew exactly what the girl was going to face in the future.
Kanou had to let someone know.
Hide finally got the courage to see Kaneki on the third day she was in the hospital. It took several hours and a lot of pacing—talking to himself like a weirdo helped too—but he finally got the courage to see her. He did try to visit her before but only got as far as the parking lot. This time, he might get as far as the front door!
It was only a second after Hide made up his mind that he came up with something to stall himself. He decided he needed to get a gift for the girl; he can't show up at a hospital with nothing. He has to bring flowers or something-or so he told himself. It was just the right thing to do.
Hide thought about it and his overactive imagination came up with several scenarios. None of which worked.
After thinking long and hard—also asking his mother, a conversation he would rather forget—Hide finally decided to bring the girl hamburger and other leftovers. It was actually a good idea since he vaguely remembers that Kaneki said her favorite food was hamburger during an icebreaker. Also, for some weird motherly reason, it was recommended that he write a note. Again, he would rather not recall that conversation. Something about love poems and how they get you extra "brownie points".
All that was left was to actually go to the hospital.
Hide, at first, attempted to get a taxi but realized that there would be too much time alone in the car for him to think about chickening out. Then he decided to ride a bike. It worked, but definitely wasn't the best idea. I mean, he's a college student going to the prestigious Kamii University. That place works him so hard that he barely has enough time to even think about exercise. By the time he made it to the hospital, sweat was dripping down his face in waterfalls and his lungs were on fire
"Note to self," Hide panted. "Work out more."
The student stood in front of the building for a while, somehow hoping that Kaneki would come out and all of a sudden be really friendly and then they'd be best friends and he wouldn't have to actually go inside. But life doesn't listen to everyone's wishes.
After anxiously walking around in circles and whispering himself words of encouragement, Hide finally steeled his nerves. "I can do this."
He took one step towards the electronic sliding doors. Then another. And another. The tall, even prison-like building loomed over his head. He was so close to the building that he could count the individual beads of sweat on his face using his reflection.
Hide was about ten steps away from the doors as he neared the final boss: the rude desk lady. He breathed deeply and stepped closer and closer. The doors sensed him and opened, Hide glanced inside.
The whole front office was basically empty. "Lucky~" Hide smiled at his good fortune.
He stealthily made his way up to the front desk, still, no one was in sight. He attempted to search the hospital database but came out empty handed.
"What the heck is with this system?" He grumbled.
"Can I help you with something?" A woman's voice sounded from behind the boy.
"Hurk!" Hide made an odd choking sound and whirled around to face a nurse in her white uniform. She had brown eyes and brown hair, done into a low ponytail. Her chin-length bangs were pushed to the side with a purple hair clip and on her uniform, a nametag read: Taguchi.
"O-oh!" He stuttered out a response. "You see, I was just...just trying to find my friend and since the desk lady wasn't here I just thought I could search it up myself?" It was a flimsy and pathetic-sounding excuse but at least it was true.
The woman scrutinized Hide carefully and then looked at the empty front desk. After what seemed like ages, she sighed. "That no-good…" Hide heard her grumbling about bad employees and how someone ought to fire 'her'. Whoever that was. At least the nurse woman seemed to believe him.
"S-so...Am I good now?" Hide asked hesitantly.
"Yes, yes." Taguchi-san made a shooing motion. "Just...I'm sorry I can't deal with this now. If you would please just leave your message with me and then go on your way. I'll make sure the person receives what you give."
It was then that Hide realized he left his bike sitting out in the parking lot with no protection. In his nervous rush and weird babbling, he must have forgotten it. His eyes widened.
"Y-yes! Here!" Hide quickly jammed his bag of leftovers into the woman's impatient hands. "It's just some of her favorite food. I've gotta go!" Hide rushed to the door. "Oh! And give that to Kaneki Kenna!" Hide called back before stumbling out of the building, leaving a shocked and quite pleased nurse.
He ran to the spot where his bike should've been.
"No." Hide grabbed his hair in frustration. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, noooooo!" His precious bike was gone. Hide dropped to his knees out of frustration and a groan escaped his dry lips.
Finally, after one more day, Kaneki was let out of the hospital. Kanou and a few of the nurses saw the girl off. Most of the staff was sorry to see her go. She was very respectful and kind, though a bit shy. She liked to think of herself as a cold and antisocial person, but they knew better.
"Ah, Kaneki-san, before you go I have something for you!" Taguchi quickly ran back inside the hospital and came out with a plastic bag in her hand.
"What's it for?" Kaneki stared at the bag skeptically.
The nurse smiled, "A young man came by yesterday, he was handsome too." She winked. "Told me to give this to you."
Kaneki slowly reached out for the bag, a look of doubt and slight curiosity written on her face. "Thank you…?" She took the bag gingerly and looked in.
"A hamburger?" She looked back at the nurse.
"Said it was your favorite." Taguchi beamed. "Now then, it's about time for you to go back home."
Kaneki smiled—something she should do more often—and bowed. "Goodbye. Thank you very much."
"Nonsense!" Taguchi smiled. "It's our job."
Kaneki finally arrived back at her house. She scanned the empty kitchen with its small cabinets over the cramped oven/stove and dishwasher. The cold, stainless steel fridge being next to them. An island surrounded by chairs held a sink and basic cooking utensils in the middle, the washer machine sitting next to the sink. She sighed and put the plastic bag on the kitchen counter. Now that she thought about it, she never got the nurse to tell her who left it…Oh well.
Kaneki yawned and accidentally knocked down the plastic bag, spilling all of its contents. She just shook her head and started picking up the items. Besides the hamburger, there were a few leftovers such as rice and miso soup, even some sushi. When she grabbed the container with the hamburger, she noticed a small note stuck onto it. Interested, she plucked it off and opened it.
To: Icicle-chan
Hello! :)
Hope you don't mind my little nickname for you, it's just that you're always so cold. Maybe if you loosened up a bit I could call you…Kuroneko! Yeah, I like that! I'm definitely gonna call you that now, you can't stop me. ;)
Any-who, come back to school soon! I'll have notes for you so don't worry! I hope the hamburger is better suited to your tastes than nasty hospital food.
(P.S.) Forgot to mention that this is Hide…oops!
Kaneki couldn't help but smile, but she quickly shook her head and put her face back in neutral.
It's probably just an act to make himself look nice… I'm probably just a charity case to him. Kaneki crumpled the note. "I'm sorry Nagachika." She threw it in the trash.
Kaneki walked slowly from the kitchen into her tiny room. "I'm so tired..."

"I've always been alone," Kaneki began, her voice was so weak that Rize had to strain her ears just to hear. "I've always been useless—a nuisance." Her voice grew stronger. "No one cares about me so why should I?! If you're going to kill me then just do it!"
Suddenly, words appeared on the screen over the scene and a baritone voice said,
"Nike. Just do it."
"Aaaaaand cut! That's a wrap, good work everybody!"
Man, Nike commercials are getting really dark these days.

A sly thought came to Taguchi's mind and she crept towards the unsuspecting girl with a grin.
"What's got you so excited?" Taguchi spoke suddenly. "Are you reading one of those erotic books? Never took you as a perv Kaneki-san."
The girl was immediately flustered. "W-what? N-NO!"

Should he order some flowers and maybe write a card?
Hide thought about it and his overactive imagination came up with several scenarios. None of which worked.
Scenario 1:
Hide walks into Kaneki's room. "Hey, I got you some flowers!"
The girl is reading and only semi-listens. She tilts her head to her bedside table to indicate that that is where he should put them.
"Oh, um, okay." Hide awkwardly puts the flowers down. "Um…bye?"
"Thanks for visiting." Are the only words she's spoken since he came in.
"Oh. Bye." Hide leaves stiffly as if he's the tin man and needs to be oiled.
Kaneki finishes reading and finally looks at the flowers and the card, it reading:
Dear Kaneki, sorry you got hit by falling steel beams.
Sincerely, a classmate from college you hardly even know,
Hide
Scenario 2:
Hide walks into Kaneki's hospital room, a charming smile on his face. "Hey, Kaneki! I brought you some flowers!"
The girl looks at him confusedly. "Who are you?"
Scenario 3:
"Yo Kaneki!" Hide walks into the room, waving for one reason or another. "Brought you some flowers."
She replies blandly. "I'm allergic."
"Shit." Hide curses.
Flowers definitely won't work.

The nurse watched as the young man got off his bike, panting like a fat dog after a run. She questioned his sanity over and over again as he walked around in circles in the parking lot while mumbling one thing or another. His bike laid on the ground. Completely unguarded. For the taking. Just waiting for a no-good lazy worker—who doesn't have a car—to take it and leave her no-good dead-end job. (It was to her anyway)
But that would be morally wrong. She does have work to do. (Sitting at the front desk and greeting people with a dull smile in order to make them think she cares) Also, she's completely irreplaceable, no one else will ever be as good as her. (There are literally tons of interns waiting for her to get fired because all she does is sit around and wait for money like a bum) And her boss loves her. (He even complimented her. Said she had two nice, lovely boo—eyes. He said she had lovely eyes.)
Screw it. She's taking the bike.
Ah, but where are her manners? She should probably leave a note. Yes, that would be the best thing to do. I mean, come on. If you're going to steal something you've gotta let the owner know. It's only polite.
Omake 6.0:
"No." Hide grabbed his hair in frustration. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, noooooo!" His precious bike was gone. Hide dropped to his knees out of frustration and then came face with a yellow sticky note. He picked it up.
To whoever owns this bike,
Thank you for conveniently leaving your bike out in the open. I've probably made good use out of it by now and am very grateful for your service. The bike was a call from heaven for me as my work was beginning to become tedious. Also, please be more careful with your belongings. There are all sorts of people out there who are waiting for dumb kids like you to leave your stuff out. In a way, it's really your fault for leaving all of it for the taking. But that's not the point.
Anyway, thank you again bike-owner-san, for leaving your bike out in the open.
~ Ak—Oops! Almost told you my real name. Let's just say…
Sincerely,
A crazy person
If anyone is wondering, that is a reference to my name.

Hide was in the middle of class, daydreaming about a certain girl. I wonder how Kaneki is doing…Did she get the bag? I wonder if she thinks I'm a creep for knowing her favorite dish… Suddenly his mind drifted to the note he left her and he blushed.
Aggghhhhh! He screamed, ruffling his hair in frustration and mortification. Icicle-chan? Kuroneko? What the hell was I thinking?! Now she probably thinks I'm a sick pervert with a nickname fetish!
A giggle interrupted his train of thought and Hide realized he was voicing all of his thoughts out loud.
"Well, shit."
The teacher, red-faced, pointed at him. "Detention!" The man shouted.
And that's how Hide was bestowed with the name Fetish-kun.
A/N: Aaaaaand I'll leave it at that. Thanks for reading! I've had this idea for a while, so I'm glad I can finally get the story out! You have no idea how many times I've revised this… Anyway, I know I said I would update on the first Friday of every month, but I felt bad leaving you guys with a very short prologue. So, here's the first chapter!
Keep in mind, this is mainly based off of the manga, but canon divergence is going to be a maximum if I can help it.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Krazypeople
(P.S.) Just saying, that dividing line is going to appear every time there's a shift in perspective or a slight time skip.
Edit: 9/1/16
Just a few grammar errors fixed and changing the OC nurse to the original plot's. Had no idea that Ishida-san actually gave the nurse a name. Lol.
