What a ridiculous turn all of this had taken.
As much as she worried, her last words to him in that prison worked, and she found herself face-to-face with Sasaki in :Re again not long after; though by then, he was more Kaneki than he used to be, wasn't he? And then that student of his... the one that screeched at her, and destroyed half the building in a jealous rage. She gave them a good reason to run much faster than she'd expected. At the very least, she gave them a chance for that first night.
And then... so much more happened. For once, she wore a mask that wasn't meant to hide, but rather to accentuate, and matched his as well. And they had a long, happy night, with their friends, their family. A celebration that felt out of place, but natural all the same. A wedding truly fit for ghouls. Yomo even drank enough to go shouting and hollering, something she'd never seen him do before. In spite of where they were, and everything they'd been through, the two of them were happy, for just a brief moment.
That happiness came crashing down on her again soon after; If she'd have known that this would happen so soon, she'd have made him wait just a bit more. She's even forced to waste people's time, asking for food of all things. Her catharsis is gone now, as she's forced to bottle up and hide once again; he can't know about this, not now. He has to think everything is fine. Adding anything else into the stakes will push him over the edge, she's sure of it. She has to put on one last face.
