[Is that supposed to worry him, two people who need Registered imPorts watching them going out on an adventure? Is he supposed to be paranoid this might mean they're cooking something terrible up, those horrible reprobates? Those cannibals! Because he doesn't have a worry in his freaking head about that, and Ken not asking only makes him smile.]

Sounds like a good trip. [Because Annie is awesome and stars are pretty cool, too. Duh.] Just shoot me wherever you plan to stay and keep your communicators on, and I'll see you when you get back. Deal?

[ supposedly it should. But by now Kaneki realizes Will has no plans on breathing over Ken's shoulder 24/7 and actually seems to trust him enough. Kaneki is actually very glad for it, and it's also why he has no plans no breaking that trust. He is not going to fuck anything up when on probation and under Will's supervision, not only because he doesn't want the government all over him so soon, and also because he respects Will.

He is a good parole officer. Even if most would find it weird for someone to let two cannibals on probation to hang out in the mountains at night without someone looking over them. ]

Deal. Thank you.

[ ah. he has to comment. ]

You know, I expected this whole thing to be a lot more... restrictive.

[He's not sure if Ken's aware, but Will does know Annie. He's known her for a while, she visited him in the hospital, she's worked shifts at the shop. That removes some of the guesswork, and he thinks that Annie is a genuinely fine person to be around. Now, if Ken said he was going stargazing with someone who'd shown themselves to be nothing other than worrisome, it would be different. But Annie? Shit. He sort of wants to tag along just because this sounds like it'd be enjoyable. Kids have all the fun.

Even if only one of them could eat smores. Oh well, Graham cracker jokes for another time.]

It depends on who's involved and how they've acted. It should, in my opinion. You've never given me reason to think you'll go against what you're supposed to do, so I don't see much of a point in treating you otherwise. Part of my duties are to make sure that you're properly reintegrating with the community. That's not going to happen if I try to prevent you from interacting with the community.

[Sylar had mentioned a leash, but that's not the case. Will Graham doesn't use leashes, not without a true need for it. The hounds of his house have always run wild and carefree, damned if he's going to start using leashes for every little thing now.]

[ no, he is not aware. He still hasn't made his hobby to stalk all of his friend's friends. Though he can't promise about the future, he still doesn't want to go to that extent yet. ]

I have no intention, no. I also don't think it'd help anyone in the long term. I just find it different [ weird ] that I'm not seen as a monster.

[STALK 'EM ALL, KEN - Will Graham]

Seen as a monster by...me? The government? Annie? Who?

[ ... ]

Everyone.

[Child 8C]

We're from different worlds. I try to keep that in mind whenever I talk to someone I don't know. I can't know their social norms and customs. What's rude or polite where I'm from could be the reverse to them, or something they've never heard of, and the same goes for me. People might not consider you a monster because, in their world, you wouldn't be. Or people might not consider you a monster because they don't think in such terms, or because they view monsters as something else. [Or because they consider themselves the bigger monster, he doesn't add.]
Judging others, too, based on the world one knows without taking into account that things are different across the table, to me, says a whole lot more about the person passing judgment than the person they're passing it on.

[ just because in a world killing is alright, it doesn't make it alright. he understands what Will means, but he doesn't think it should be that simple either.

However, Kaneki IS a monster. He has accepted this. ]

Did you know if you cut off my fingers, they will regrow? Again and again, cut them one hundred times, or thousands times, they will regrow. Feed me, and they grow back. Cut them off again, feed me again, they'll grow again. Again again again again its a truly monstrous sight you know

stab my eye too ill go blind for a bit its temporary sight is back soon after do it as many times youd like just the same

put a centipede inside the ear hear it munch away munch munch chomp chomp give me flesh itll heal and while still inside itll keep going

eat and heal get hurt and eat again dont die never die never stay alive do it all again how monstrous

One thousand minus [ UNKNOWN ] [ yeah, kaneki isn't typing. He is talking, and the communicator is writing it down for him. But when he is just mumbles, the program can't decipher it ]

[ UNKNOWN ] eat [ UNKNOWN ] alright. I'm alright. With all of that, I think there is too much of a monster in me to ignore it, Will. "Different worlds" is not a good enough excuse anymore.

[DUDE]

No, I don't know how monstrous the sight is. I can only imagine. [Does...Ken want him...to watch...this...? God, this is the best cannibalistic romance tactic THERE EVER FUCKING WAS.] You're welcome to think whatever you want of yourself, Ken, but you'll find it's not always possible to change what someone else thinks of you. Or how they feel about you. Gets even more muddled when you base that on what your body is capable of, whether or not you revel in its abilities. And sometimes, the more you shove an idea down someone's throat, the more you make it so they're less inclined to swallow.

[cannibal speech for $500, alex]

[ how ghouls seduce each other: cut off their fingers and grow them back in front of the other cannibal ]

Different worlds. It helps them to see other people's stories as easier to accept. Because it never happened to them, it's just a story, like a book, like a movie, like a nightmare. Not real. Until it happens to them. Dorian sees me as a monster. It happened to him. So it's what it is. It sounds naive, though. To only really see it when it happens to you. Will, why aren't you afraid of me? You read the file. You know what I can do. You know how fucked up I am. How fucked up I can be.

[He's seeing enough right now, thanks. Getting into pure empathy is, however, not a fun conversation. So:]

You haven't given me any reason to be afraid, Ken. Just because I'm not afraid doesn't mean I'm not aware.

[Like how he's aware that, when walking on the side of a street trafficked by cars, there is some risk one might veer and take him down. Or when he goes over a bridge, it could crumble. Or how he's aware drinking might ruin his liver later on in life. But comparing Ken to inanimate objects, or the people behind them, or nature taking its toll at an unexpected moment, doesn't seem the best course of action.]

I've lived enough of my life in fear. I didn't enjoy it. I don't have a desire to repeat it when I don't have to.

I hope I don't give you a reason to.

[ to be afraid. ]

Me too.

[It would take a lot. And if he ever gave Will reason to fear, it would be enough for him to have to make a call. Ken would have to go so far it couldn't be contained between the two of them, in good faith.

Ken doesn't need that.]
