 [ she shouldn't show her face. it's not safe. hinami knows this. it'd been clear from the file they'd given her that the government here knows what she is. for all she knows, this is a trick.

but she doesn't know this world, and she's in this apartment all by herself and that's...terrifying. and the lady she'd spoken to her had told her that maybe she could find someone she knows if she tried, so... 

she's not easily visible despite this. the room she's in is dark, like she's holed herself up in it. (the door is definitely locked, she's been warned enough times about being careful.)

nonetheless, she sounds young, early teens at most. ]

There's no one here and it's really quiet. I don't like it. I want to go home.

[ and then, quieter: ]

Onee-chan? Onii-chan? They said you might be here... Banjou-san?

[enucleation]

[ of all the voices and faces-

Hinami.

If Kaneki was worried and super paranoid about keeping people safe, his worry over Hinami just doubles or triples because it's Hinami ]

Hinami-chan! I'm here - where are you? [ waisting no time, kaneki is already getting out of his house to go meet her ]

Onii-chan!

[ if she didn't have to hold the device to talk to him, she'd probably be practically trying to dive through the phone. ]

[leaflets]

I got-- um. [ she's trying to open a piece of paper with one hand, and it takes a minute. ] The lady wrote it down. D...De Chima?

[ how do you even pronounce this stuff omg ]

De Chima, zero zero seven. They said I live here, but there's no one else here.

[ A child? Dear God, what if she's all alone? ]

I'm not either of them. But are you all right? There's a lot of us here, I promise you.

video

[leaflets]

I'm...okay.

[ for the given definition. being alone in the apartment at home is one thing. it's familiar, comforting. it's safe. here...

lots of them...are they all humans? ]

I thought there'd be people here too.

[ D'Artagnan's smile is sudden and kind, but even he can't help being amused by that. ]

Of course there are. I'm a person. Don't I look like one?

[ A little pause. ]

Actually, don't answer that. I don't think I want to hear it if it's a no.

Seems like-

you found who you're looking for?

Are you okay?

[For some reason this post gets to him a bit, but she seems like she'll be all right now? Her brother was it? ...Ken?]

[leaflets]

Mm, I'm okay...Onii-chan found me.

[ktfod]

Yeah- that's, that's good. Your brother's Kaneki?

[deadtective]

[aww, it looked like something nice finally happened to Kaneki. it makes Hazel smile a little, because he fucking deserves it after the garbage that's been heaped on him lately.]

Yeah, some of the assigned houses are empty until you move in and that's always a little creepy. I mean, hell, I've got a roommate but you'd never know so it's still the same thing.

[leaflets]

[ oh, writing.

okay she can do this she knows most of her words!! ]

maybe they ran out of ones that arent

[deadtective]

I don't know, I've seen places packed pretty tightly that still get new people. The housing system here just makes no fucking sense.

[bindsthedead]

Have you found people you know already?

I know it can be frightening to get brought here suddenly.

Video

[leaflets]

Yeah! I found Onii-chan!

Re: Video

[bindsthedead]

Good. And is... Onee-chan's [For someone who doesn't speak a word of Japanes she doesn't mangle the term too badly] named Touka?

[A child's voice always catches Winry's attention.]

Hi...I'm Winry. Are you all right?

[Video]

[leaflets]

Hi, Winry...

I'm okay. I'm waiting for my Onii-chan.

[Video]

[hands4healing]

[Fortunately, the commicator translates.]

Your brother? He's here? That's good. Do you want to talk to me until he gets there?

[ She might not be the best with kids, but one in distress is one she can't ignore.

Softly: ]

Hello there! Are you alright now?

video

[leaflets]

I'm okay now! Onii-chan found me.

[huntergames]

Oh knee chan? What's that?

[amadaman]

It sounds like you're okay.

We can't really do anything about sending people home. We don't have control over that, but you won't have to deal with things alone.

[leaflets]

Mmhm...with Onii-chan and Onee-chan here, I'll be okay...

[video]

[hunterrabbit]

[Touka can barely believe what she's seeing. Before the video even finishes, she's scrambling frantically to post a reply with her communicator. It feels like it's been forever since she's heard her friend's voice. Too long.]

H-Hinami!!

[leaflets]

Onee-chan!

[ kaneki had said she was here, but it's totally different actually hearing her. ]
