Is there anything about yourself that you would change, if you could?
And do any of you have the ability or powers to change people's physical bodies? Like with magic, or something.
Not science.
[ Science has already let him down. Science led him here. Luther doesn't much savour the idea of another brilliant person with brilliant inventions trying to get beneath his ape-like skin, when he and his father already tried and failed.
There is something to be said for acceptance, and coming to terms with yourself and your new capabilities or lack thereof. Luther isn't there yet. And he has too many memories now, of an entire decade in the City without this albatross around his neck, this anchor around his ankle. Every time he thinks he might have readjusted to his malformed body again, this world delivers him another goddamned reminder of what he's lost: accidentally remaking his own form when dreams became real; his siblings winding up in others' bodies; waking up looking like his teenaged self, from a far simpler time. It rankles; makes it harder each time to feel comfortable again.
So. He asks the question, finally. ]
& ooc: I don't want to permanently 'fix' Luther, but if your character can do it, I would absolutely be open to a change backfiring or working temporarily! Feel free to plot ICly, or reach out OOCly to hash out some details!

But I know what it's like when there's no one to talk to. And you wouldn't be able to find me again otherwise. So, just... I'm not very good at talking but if you did want to, later, you can do that now.

Ken Kaneki.

[ Polite and well-schooled, as ever. ]

It's nice to meet you as well, Luther-san.
And thank you.
For being kind, even after what I told you.

And hey, wait. 'Ken Kaneki'. Have you ever written a lot of really detailed notes about this universe? I got pointed to them ages back; my family and I have been referring to them for a while.
It's not exactly a common nano subject
Detailed notes...? ]
No, I'm not that person. I think.
He was here before me, but I don't remember any of it. I don't think I'm him, not really.

I didn't know that person was the one writing all of those notes. [ "the imPort who recorded everything", that's what someone called him before. He hadn't realized they were talking about the past Kaneki. ]
